A rifle that shoots bullets at460m/sis to be aimed at a target45.7 away. If the center of the target is level with the rifle, how high above the target must the rifle barrel be pointed so that the bullet hits dead center?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The rife barrel be pointed0.0484m above the ground

Step by step solution

01

Given information

g=9.8m/s2v0=460m/sR=45.7m

02

Determining the concept of projectile motion 

This problem deals with the projectile motion of an object. In projectile motion,the motion experienced by an object or particle that moves under the action of gravity only.

In this case, the distance between the target and the rifle is given and they are levelled with each other, so using the formula for range of the projectile, the angle with which the projectile is fired can be found and using this, how high should the rifle barrel must be, can be calculated.

Formula:

The range of the particle in projectile motion is given by

R=02sin2g (i)

03

Determining the height of the rifle to be kept above the ground

Using equation (i),

Rg=v02sin2sin2=Rgv022=sin-1Rgv02=sin-1Rgv022=sin-145.79.846022=0.0606

Assumeh=heightoftherifletobekeptabovetheground

tan=hRtan0.0606=h45.71.0510-3=h45.7h=1.0510-345.7

Thus

The rife barrel be pointed0.0484m

(a) At what angle above the horizontal must you throw the ball? (b) What is the horizontal distance from the release point to the target? (c) What is the speed of the ball just as it reaches the target?

A baseball is hit at ground level. The ball reaches its maximum height above ground level 3.0 safter being hit. Then 2.5 s after reaching its maximum height, the ball barely clears a fence that is 97.5 mfrom where it was hit. Assume the ground is level. (a) What maximum height above ground level is reached by the ball? (b) How high is the fence? (c) How far beyond the fence does the ball strike the ground?
