    How Do You Calculate the Explosion Coordinates of an Artillery Shell?

    I apologize. I don't know why I keep doing that. Well after switching to degrees: \Deltax = 7227.1 \Deltay = 18965.1 EDIT 1: If you are wondering, my new Vox= 172.073 and Voy= 245.75

    How Do You Calculate the Explosion Coordinates of an Artillery Shell?

    Ok, I fixed the x component: The new Vox = 6.64 m/s By using this new value in the new equation: \Deltax = (6.64)(42) \Deltax = 278.88 The \Deltay should be correct. What do you think?

    How Do You Calculate the Explosion Coordinates of an Artillery Shell?

    I apologize, I thought i posted my attempts. I used the previous equations to give me these solutions: Vox = +1991.41 m/s Voy = -299.93 Then, I used these equations: \Deltay = (-299.93)(42 s) + 1/2 (9.8)(42)2 \Deltay = -3953.5 \Deltax = (1991.4)(42) \Deltax = 83638.8 Let...

    How Do You Calculate the Explosion Coordinates of an Artillery Shell?

    Homework Statement An artillery shell is fired with initial velocity of 300 m/s at 55 degrees above the horizontal. TO clear an avalanche, it explodes on a mountainside 42 secs after firing. What are the x- and y- coordinates of the shell where it explodes, relative to its firing point...
