Question
Gun sights are adjusted to aim high to compensate for the effect of gravity, effectively making the gun accurate only for a specific range. (a) If a gun is sighted to hit targets that are at the same height as the gun and 100.0 m away, how low will the bullet hit if aimed directly at a target 150.0 m away? The muzzle velocity of the bullet is 275 m/s. (b) Discuss qualitatively how a larger muzzle velocity would affect this problem and what would be the effect of air resistance.

- Gun sights are adjusted to aim high to compensate for the effect of gravity, effectively making the gun accurate only for a specific range. If a gun is sighted to hit targets that are at the same height as the gun and 50.0 m away, how low will the bullet hit if aimed directly at a target 65.0 m away? The muzzle velocity of the bullet is 285.0 m/s.
