At a firing range, a target is placed 300 m from where someone is firing a rifle. The muzzle speed of this rifle is 700 m/s. If the rifle is aimed directly at the center of the target, by how far will the target miss? At what angle would the rifle need to be aimed at to hit the target dead center?

Answer 1

Range = Vo^2*sin(2A)/g = 300 m.
Vo = 700 m/s.
g = 9.8 m/s^2.
A = ?
