Question : 29
Total: 32
A bullet fired at an angle of 30° with the horizontal hits the ground 3.0 km away. By adjusting its angle of projection, can one hope to hit a target 5.0 km away? Assume the muzzle speed to be fixed, and neglect air resistance.
Solution:
Horizontal range, R =
3 =
=
nce the muzzle velocity is fixed, therefore, Maximum horizontal range,
R max =
= 2 √ 3 = 3.464 m
nce the muzzle velocity is fixed, therefore, Maximum horizontal range,
