HUMAN CANNONBALL
A circus performer is launched
from a cannon and lands in a
net. Your table top ball
launcher represents a smallscale working model of this
human cannonball system.
Your goal is to figure out what
angle to launch the ball and
where to place the net so that
the flight time of the ball is
equal to 0.50 seconds and the
ball lands in the net.
1. What angle must be the
ball launcher will be set to
make sure the human will
exactly at the net?
2. What distance from the
ball launcher must the net
be placed to ensure exact
landing of human
cannonball?
