Simulated Canon Fire 4. Which cannon angle resulted in the greatest distance for the cannon ball in the simulation? Why do you think this angle is different than the optimum angle of 45 for a football to travel the greatest distance across a football field? 5. Calculate the time (t) for the cannon ball to drop from the 10meter height when the cannon was horizontal (at 0). Then calculate the horizontal distance 'x' the cannon ball should travel, the horizontal range, when launched at 15 m/s. Does your calculated range match the range for 0 in the simulation? What could account for any differences? 15. Fire the cannon and use the measuring tape tool to determine the horizontal range of the cannon ball at the 0 angle; record the horizontal rang of the cannon ball for the 0 angle in the "Cannon Fire" data Table.

Use your computer mouse to drag the end of the cannon upward so the cannon is at a 100 angle. Fire the cannon. Use the measuring tape to measure and record the distance the cannon ball travelled, the horizontal range, in the "Cannon Fire" data Table. Repeat this process for all angles listed in the "Cannon Fire" data Table
