Yeah I just covert both speeds to m/s Vcar = 22.352m/s Vcannon= 223.52m/s

My above calculation is incorrect because the projectile motion X Y are in a different plane. The arc of motion of the cannonball. So I can't equate the X's. Yeah they were just given in mph and yes the cannonball speed is 500mph.

Actually I'm not sure the above is correct, here's my new thinking: If I use the fact that the x will be the same at collision Tank x = 50t Rocket P is the pitch x = 500Cos(p)t so 50t = 500Cos(p)t Also we can use the fact that on collision y = 0 for the rocket because its...

Hi I have a classical projectile problem: Car moving west at 50mph. If I am south ten miles and wish to his the object with a canon traveling at 500mph i) What bearing should I shoot at? ii) What pitch? Thanks Jo Homework Equations for projectile x=(Vo cos...
