Homework Statement
Your task is to determine:
a.the length and bore of cannon that is required to accommodate an 80 kg Clown with an over-arm measurement of 48 inches
b.the amount of fuel that is required to launch the Clown at the same angle as you did with your model...
I did that, I made a x/y coordinate plane with velocity vector 1 as my zero but then I tried to make a right angle triangle and couldn't figure out any of the other angles in the triangle other than the 90 degree one
Umm, I tried this question yesterday, and looking at it now I don't actually know what I used to split those into components. And I can't seem to find a way from scratch :/

A firecracker of mass 18g explodes into three pieces of equal mass. The first piece flies off at a speed 24m/s. The second piece flies at 18m/s at an angle 110 Degrees from the direction of the first piece. Find the speed and direction of the third piece.Homework Equations...
If you were to throw a ball at an upward angle, what changes could you make to maximize the range and time aloft of the ball and how will these changes affect the balls path. I'm just wondering what would be the best way someone could throw something, but we'll just keep it simple with a normal...
Okay so this is more of a theoretical question. If say a car crashed into a stationary truck and the driver experienced around 20-25g, what other factors would you need to find how fast the car was going before impact and how would you do that?
