Problem 2. a) A rifle fires a 5.56x45 NATO bullet horizontally with muzzle velocity of 950 m/s, while a modern crossbow fires a bolt horizontally with initial velocity of 67 m/sec. Assuming no air resistance, what is the drop distance at 50m, 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m? How realistic are these estimates?

A longbowman launches arrows at 50 m/s. Assuming that the firing is done at 45 degrees from the horizontal and that there is no air resistance, what is the gained improvement in maximal range to ground targets when he fires from the skirt wall (height=10m), secondary wall (height=20m), and keep (height=30m) of a medieval castle? What if the castle is built on a hill of height 100m?
A projectile is fired from a cliff 300mhigh with an initial velocity of 400 m/s. If the firing angle is 300from the horizontal, compute the horizontal range of the projectile. (Ans. 15.74km)
A projectile is fired at v_{0} = 368.0 m / s at an angle of theta =70.8 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Assuming no air resistance, what is the range R of the projectile?
In one contest at the county fair, a spring-loaded plunger launches a ball at a speed of 3.1 m/s from one corner of a smooth, flat board that is tilted up at a 20∘ angle. To win, you must make the ball hit a small target at the adjacent corner, 2.20 m away. At what angle θ should you tilt the ball launcher?
A rifle is capable of shooting a bullet to an initial speed of 200m/s, if it is shot 60degrees upward, what is the maximum range? Neglect air resistance and consider gravity is constant 9.81m/s^2. a. 3352.1 b. 3531.2 c. 5132.3 d. 5331.2
A sniper atop a building 150m high fired a bullet parallel to the horizontal with a speed of 1800km/h. Assuming that the bullet will hit its target, what would be the resulting range?
The cannon on a battleship ship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 39.0km What's the velocity of the shell? What maximum height does it reach? How many meters lower will its surface be 39 from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface of the ship? Does your answer imply that error introduced by the assumption of a flat earth in projectile motion is significant here?
A quarterback passes the football downfield at 19.0 m/s. It leaves his hand 1.70 m above the ground and is caught by a receiver 36.0 m away at the same height. What is the maximum height of the ball on its way to the receiver? so y0 = 1.7m x(t) = 36m , i guess i will need angle and t to get the answer, but i have no idea how to find them
