A cannon on a level plane is aimed at an angle 

\theta

above the horizontal and a shell is fired with muzzle velocity 

{v_0}

towards a cliff D distance away. The height at which the cannon strikes the cliff is given by

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

D\tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}\frac{{g{D^2}}}{{v_0^2{{\cos }^2}\theta }}

Option C (

D\tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}\frac{{g{D^2}}}{{v_0^2{{\cos }^2}\theta }}

) is correct. It combines the equations for horizontal and vertical motion under constant acceleration.
