The maximum horizontal range of the gun.
Answer to Problem 75GP
The maximum horizontal range of the gun is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Time of flight of dart,
Formula Used:
Since the gun is shooting vertically and the upward flight takes half time to move. Consider the vertical direction and calculate the velocity using first law of motion.
Where,
The expression to calculate the maximum horizontal range of the gun is,
Where,
Calculation:
Substitute all the values in equation (1).
Substitute all the values in equation (2).
Conclusion:
Thus, the maximum horizontal range of the gun is
