What was the cannonball initial speed

Reference no: EM13719404

Solve the all parts of following problem:

Problem: A cannon sits 20 m from the bottom of a cliff. it shoots a cannonball at a 60 degree angle. Two and a half seconds later, the cannonball lands on the edge of the cliff.

Part I: What was the cannonball initial speed?

Part II: What is the cannonball acceleration vector at the peak of its trajectory?

Part III: How tall is the cliff?

I need help to find the cannonball acceleration vector at the peak of its trajectory.
