1. Homework Statement [/b]
assume g = 9.81 m/s2, and friction can be ignored.
A gun is fired horizontally at a target lying on the ground 188 m away, and the bullet hits the center of the target. The muzzle velocity of the gun (the speed with which it fires bullets) is 387 m/s.
a) How long was the bullet in the air?
in seconds
b) How high was the gun above the ground when it was fired?
in meters
c) Suppose an arrow can be shot out of a bow at 32.6 m/s. How high above the ground would you have to fire the arrow horizontally to hit the same target over the same distance?
in meters
NOTE: Think about how high this is in feet.
