Consider the following statement: When a rifle is fired horizontally, the bullet leaves the barrel and doesn't drop at all for the first 75 meters of flight. Is this statement true?
A golfer on a level fairway hits a ball at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal that travels 93 yards before striking the ground. He then hits another ball from the same spot with the same speed, but at a different angle. This ball also travels 93 yards. At what angle was the second ball hit? (Neglect air resistance.)
If a baseball is hit with a vertical speed of 30 m/s and a horizontal speed of 2 m/s, how long will the ball remain in the air? (Assume for the purposes of this question that the ball starts at nearly ground level.) How far will it go?
