    Mechanics: Calculating the minimum height for a bullet to launch from to hit a target

    1. The muzzle speed for a Lee-Enfield rifle is 630 meters per second. Suppose you fire this rifle at a target 700 meters away and at the same level as the rifle. a - In order to hit the target, you must aim the barrel at a point above the target. How many meters above the target must you aim...

    Solving for the minimum speed a car must have to catch up to another car?

    Thank you Simon! When you refer to the other simultaneous equation, what are you referring to? I could only find one equation that relates them. I was thinking of using ##v_B = 0.9t##, but I didn't think that would work because ##v_G## and ##v_B## are different, so I'd still be left with two...

    Solving for the minimum speed a car must have to catch up to another car?

    1. A blue car pulls away from a red stop-light just after it has turned green with a constant acceleration of 0.9 m/s2. A green car arrives at the position of the stop-light 4 s after the light had turned green. What is the slowest constant speed which the green car can maintain and still catch...
