Question
A rife is fred horizontally at the center of a target. The bullet has an initial velocity (also known as the
muzzle velocity) of 850 m/s and hits the target 1.8 cm below the center. How far (horizontally) away is the
target from the end of the rife?

- During a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 28.3 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.57 m above the court surface. The net is 12.0 m away and 0.900 m high. When the ball reaches the net, (a) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? (b) Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but now it leaves the racquet at 5.00° below the horizontal. When the ball reaches the net, what now is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? Enter a positive number if the ball clears the net. If the ball does not clear the net, your answer should be a negative number. Use g=9.81 m/s².
