Question : A bullet fired at an angle of 30° with the horizontal hits the ground 3 km away. By adjusting its angle of projection, one can hope to hit a target 5 km away. Assume the muzzle speed to be same and the air resistance is negligible

a) possible to hit a target 5 km away

b) not possible to hit a target 5 km away

c) prediction is not possible

d) None of the above

Answer : option (B)

Solution :

A bullet fired at an angle of 30° with the horizontal hits the ground 3 km away. By adjusting its angle of projection, one can hope to hit a target 5 km away. Assume the muzzle speed to be same and the air resistance is negligible
