Question

A cannon is placed at the edge of a cliff of height H overlooking the ocean. The cannon has a muzzle velocity V0 and is pointed at a positive angle THETA above the horizontal. The kinetic energy of the projectile when it hits the water depends on ________________. A: H only B: V0 only C: THETA only D: H and V0 only E: H and THETA only F: THETA and V0 only G: H, V0 and THETA The kinetic energy of the projectile at the its highest point depends on ______________. A: H only B: V0 only C: THETA only D: H and V0 only E: H and THETA only F: THETA and V0 only G: H, V0 and THETA

Explanation / Answer

...kinetic energy of the projectile when it hits the water depends on (v_0, H) ...the kinetic energy of the projectile at the its highest point depends on (v_0)
