a cannon is placed on an edge of a cliff and launches shell with an initial velocity of 710m/s [35degrees above the horizontal]. the shell lands 15m below its launching position.
a) determine the max height of the shell
b) determine the horizontal range of the shell from the base of the cliff
c) determine the velocity of the shell on impact ( the second it hits the ground)


thanks!~

I see a lot of these types of questions on here. You would be best served by reading the sticky posts about posting homework questions.

You have to at least TRY to find a solution yourself.
