A skeet shooter aims at a clay pigeon. The muzzle velocity of the rifle is 700 mph and the man holds the rifle such that the end of the gun is 6 ft off the ground. Assuming that the speed of the skeet is insignificant relative to the speed of the bullet, determine the angle at which the man needs to hold the rifle in order to hit a clay pigeon that is 50 yards away and at an altitude...

Agent Arlene devised the following method of measuring the muzzle velocity of a rifle (the figure below). She fires a bullet into a 4.114-kg wooden block resting on a smooth surface, and attached to a spring of spring constant k = 164.2 N/m . The bullet, whose mass is 7.870 g, remains embedded in the wooden block. She measures the maximum distance that the block compresses the spring to be 9.460 cm . What is the speed v of the...

A bullet weighing 0.1 lb is fired vertically downward from a stationary helicopter with a muzzle velocity of 1200 ft/sec. The air resistance (in lbs) is numerically equal to 16-5v2, where v is the velocity of the bullet in ft/sec. a)If the helicopter is 3,000 ft high, how long does it take for the bullet to hit the ground?
