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
