The USS Wisconsin (BB-64 “Whisky”) is about to fire all nine of its main guns (Mark 7 – 50 caliber) at a
Japanese destroyer. The gunner calculates the guns need to be at 38 degrees from the horizontal to hit
the destroyer. We’ll assume that the projectiles were fired at the maximum muzzle velocity for the
mark 7 guns.
1) What is the vertical speed of the projectiles to the nearest hundredth (in ft. /s)? Show all
work!
2) What is the horizontal speed of the projectiles to the nearest hundredth (in ft. /s)? Show all
work!
