Homework Statement


A rifle is aimed horizontally at a target 100 ft. away. The bullet hits the target
0.75 in. below the aiming point. (a) Calculate the bullet’s time of flight. (b)
Calculate the muzzle velocity of the rifle. (g = 32 ft/s



Homework Equations



delta x = vx * t
delta y = 1/2at^2 + vi t

The Attempt at a Solution


100=vx*t
(two unknown variables?!)
-100=(-16t/s^2)(t^2) + vixt
