Compared to the range of a bullet shot horizontally just above horizontal ground, a bullet shot from the same position at an angle of 30 degrees with the same initial velocity as the first bullet, would travel a horizontal distance that is-

a) the same
b) farther
c) not as far
d) the same, but will remain in the air longer​

Answer :

Answer:

b) farther

Explanation:

The range of the bullet shot horizontally just above the horizontal ground is given as;

[tex]R_1 = \frac{u^2sin(2\theta)}{g}[/tex]

where;

θ is the angle of projection with the horizontal ground = 0

R₁ = 0

The range of the bullet shot at an angle of 30 degrees with the same initial velocity as the first bullet is given as;

[tex]R_2 = \frac{u^2sin(2 \theta)}{g} \\\\R_2 = \frac{u^2sin(2*30)}{9.8}\\\\R_2 = 0.088u^2[/tex]

Therefore, the second bullet will travel a horizontal distance that is farther
