Homework Statement
A sport rifle used for target shooting has a muzzle velocity of 1200 ft/s
a) what is the maximum range of the rifle if it is fired about 5 feet above the ground?
b) how long would a bullet be in the air if it was fired for the maximum range?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I came up with 2 parametric equations. I don't know if they will help me though...
x= t*l1200lcos(0)
y= tl1200lsin(o)-16t²+5
I could maybe do this, if someone explained the topic to me. I don't understand parametric equations at all, unfortunately...
