Bobo, the clown, wants to set the world record for the furthest range traveled by a clown shot out of a cannon. Write a sentence describing the cannon that Bobo would need to use to accomplish this feat. Be sure to include the necessary initial velocity and the required angle of the cannon. Score: 0 / 1

Respuesta :

In the human cannonball act makes use of of a special type of "cannon" that more safely ejects a person who acts as the "cannonball"

The world record for the longest flight by a human cannonball is approximately 194 feet and therefore the human cannon catapult that Bobo would need is one that would be able to propel him with an initial velocity of more than 120 kilometer per hour (more than the speed of the current record holder) with the cannon directed at an angle 45 degrees above the horizonal

The reason the values given above are correct is as follows:

The world record of the furthest range of the human cannonball is 193 ft. 8.8 inches. The maximum claim for the furthest range of a human cannonball is 200 ft. 4 in. Therefore, to safely set the world record would be to reach a range of 194 feet

The speed with which the world record was accomplished (120 km/jhr)  should be expected to be exceeded given, horizontal speed in free fall motion is constant (decreasing in the presence of drag), and the conditions are likely to be more or less similar

In order to reach the furthest range, R, at the possible speed, the angle of inclination of the "cannon" required is 45°, according to the range formula, which is given as follows;

[tex]Range, \ R = \dfrac{v^2 \times sin(2\cdot \theta)}{g}[/tex]

The maximum range is given where θ = 45, such that sin(2·θ) = sin(90°) = 1

A further range than the world record van be obtained using the above values
