[单选题]
Two cannons are arranged vertically, with the i27 lnzux u1huz6c*+nl 2r maubws ,tetmg035/ower cannon pointing upward (towards the upper cannon) and the upper cannon pointing downward (towards the lower c 2g,/wa3u 0mtrb ts5 meannon), $200\,\mathrm{m}$ above the lower cannon. Simultaneously, they both fire. The muzzle velocity of the lower cannon is $25\,\mathrm{m/s}$ and the muzzle velocity of the upper cannon is $55\,\mathrm{m/s}$.  How far beneath the top cannon do the projectiles collide?
A. $31\,\mathrm{m}$
B. $67\,\mathrm{m}$
C. $110\,\mathrm{m}$
D. $140\,\mathrm{m}$
E. $170\,\mathrm{m}$
参考答案: E
本题详细解析:
From problem 6, the collis+n w,b6cgyerc )ac.1bw i/xh1ion time is $t = 2.5\,\mathrm{s}$. We can find the distance the top projectile travels downward in this time.
Using $g = 10\,\mathrm{m/s^2}$ (as per instruction).
$s = v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = (55\,\mathrm{m/s})(2.5\,\mathrm{s}) + \frac{1}{2}(10\,\mathrm{m/s^2})(2.5\,\mathrm{s})^2$
$s = 137.5 + 5(6.25) = 137.5 + 31.25 = 168.75\,\mathrm{m}$.
This is closest to $170\,\mathrm{m}$.
