A mortar is like a small cannon that launches shells at steep angles. A mortar crew is positioned near the top of a steep hill. Enemy forces are charging up the hill and it is necessary for the crew to spring into action. Angling the mortar at an angle of 0 = 65.0° (as shown), the crew fires the shell at a muzzle velocity of 238 ft/s. How far d down the hill does the shell strike if the hill subtends an angle o = 36.0° from the horizontal? Ignore air friction. d= How long will the mortar shell remain in the air? time: How fast will the shell be traveling when it hits the ground? speed: m/s
