. A trebuchet launches a 6 kg watermelon at an angle of 29o above the horizontal at the top of the cliffs of Dover, 110 m above sea level, towards into the English channel, at 52 m/s. a) Neglecting air drag, what is the watermelon’s impact speed into the channel? Solve using energy methods. b) What is the watermelon’s change in potential energy from launch to impact? c) What is the amount of drag on the watermelon just as its launched if you can model the watermelon as spherical, radius 12 cm, drag coefficient 0.4, and density of air is 1.2 kg/m^3. d) What is the acceleration on the watermelon, just after it’s launched in unit vector notation? Make sure you define your axes using an illustration.

A 0.650 kg projectile is launched from the edge of a cliff with an initial kinetic energy of 1425 J and at its highest point is 177.6 m above the launch point. What is the horizontal component of its velocity? What was the vertical component of its velocity just after launch? At one instant during its flight the vertical component of its velocity is 35.40 m/s. At that time, how far is it above or below the launch point?
