Flying Circus of PhysicsA trebuchet was a hurling machine built to attack the walls of a castle under siege. A large stone could be hurled against a wall to break apart the wall. The machinewas not placed near the wall because then arrows could reach it from the castle wall. Instead, it was positioned so that the stone hit the wall during the second halfof its flight. Suppose a stone is launched with a speed of v0 = 27.0 m/s and at an angle of ?0 = 38.0°. What is the speed of the stone if it hits the wall (a) just asit reaches the top of its parabolic path and (b) when it has descended to half that height? (c) As a percentage, how much faster is it moving in part (b) than in part(a)?
