Before Reading

An example of people obeying authority figures even though they may not want to is during a time of war when a village is being bombarded people will follow anyone who acts as though they should be trusted. The people will follow them even if they do not agree with what they are doing.

Military commanders do not have to be harsh to their troups because if they are nice their troops will listen to them with respect not fear.

I think it is very good for a military outfit to work together while they are together because if they do not nothing woulf really get done.

If a commander is unable to keep control over his or her troops during a war the troops would not do as was planned and end up ruining the whole thing.

Velocity

R=V2sin20/g

Cannon Angle

The cannon angle we choose was 45 degrees because we found that the best angle to have is around 40 degrees so we raised it a little to get a little bit more height.

Reflection

Our cannon didn't fire as we had expected. We believe that it was due to teh cold weather because when temperature is low preassure is low.

Experiment

Our cannon did not fire at all.

Hypothesis

My team and I think that our cannon will fire at least 5 feet before touching the ground. We think this because we found that the best angle to use was around 40 degrees so we made ours 45 degrees.
