~Math Component~



1. The angle we chose for our cannon was 30 degrees. We chose this because we believed the cannon would not be low enough to hit the ground, though it would not be high enough to go straight up into the air, then come straight back down, forming a porabala.

2. Initial Velocity

Projectile Formula: R= (Vo^2)(sin2theta)/g
g=32.2(sec)(sec)
R(Launch distance)= 0
Theta(Launch angle)= 30 degrees
Final Formula: 0=(Vo^2)(sin2*30)/32.2 sec.
