Your nephew got a Nerf Bazooka gun for Christmas, so you take it outside to play with it (just like my uncles did when I was little). The bazooka is on your shoulder, 1.7 m above the ground. You aim the gun 30° above the horizontal and the big, foam projectile leaves the gun with an initial velocity of 31 You accidentally aim the bazooka at a tree that is a horizontal distance of 23 m away. How long does it take for the projectile to hit the tree? t = How high (above the ground) in the tree does the projectile get stuck? hfinal = Imagine you were more clever and aimed into an empty field with no obstructions. You can control how fast the projectile leaves the gun by pumping more times or fewer times (more pumps = faster projectile). What are TWO ways you could increase the amount of time that the projectile is in the air?

Your nephew got a Nerf Bazooka gun for Christmas, so you take it outside to play with it (just like my uncles did when I was little). The bazooka is on your shoulder, 1.7 m above the ground. You aim the m gun 30° above the horizontal and the big, foam projectile leaves the gun with an initial velocity of 31 You accidentally aim the bazooka at a tree that is a horizontal distance of 23 m away. How long does it take for the projectile to hit the tree? How high (above the ground) in the tree does the projectile get stuck? hfinal %D Imagine you were more clever and aimed into an empty field with no obstructions. You can control how fast the projectile leaves the gun by pumping more times or fewer times (more pumps = faster projectile). What are TWO ways you could increase the amount of time that the projectile is in the air?
