elevation angle is pi/3? A gun has muzzle speed 320 ft/sec. A shot is made from the ground level, elevation angle is pi/3.
(a) Find the time that the bullet will take to hit the ground.
(b) Find the horizontal distance covered by the bullet.
assume the acceleration of gravity is 32 ft/sec^2
Hint:
assume that the shot is made at the time t=0. choose the coordinate system (with coordinates x, y) so that the shot is made at the origin (0,0). Measure time in seconds, coordinates in feet.
I forgot another part of the question:
(c) What is the smallest speed of the bullet during its flight?
that is, while the bullet is still in the air.
