Tough Concept Question!
A rifle is used to shoot twice at a target using identical cartridges. The first time, it is aimed parallel to the ground and directly at the center of the bull's eye. The bullet strikes the target at a distance of HA below the center, however. The second time, the rifle is similarly aimed, but from 3.13 times the distance from the target. This time the bullet strikes the target at a distance of HB below the center. Find the ratio HB/HA.
N/A
this is a very tough question i have come upon, i tried maybe going 2 x 3.13 as the Hb and dividing it by 2 but it doesn't seem to work, anyone have any ideas??
