Projectiles on Battleships
Think about the question below. Only one of the answers listed is correct. We'll do some (but probably not all) of these questions in the lectures when you will all be asked to vote on which answer you think is correct. (Soon afterwards, you'll be able to see your responses, and those of the whole class at EVAF.)
A battleship simultaneously fires two shells at enemy ships, with the same launch speed. The
shells
follow the parabolic trajectories shown. Which ship gets hit first?
1 | ship A |
2 | ship B |
3 | both at same time |
