PROBLEM 1 A bullet is fired horizontally with speed vi = 400.0 m/s at the bullseye (from the same level). The bullseye is a horizontal distance x = 100.0 m away. By what vertical distance does the bullet miss the bullseye? At what angle above the horizontal should the bullet be fired to successfully hit the target?
