A hunter observed a bird flying overhead and estimated the
His rifle is
If he fires at
height at 15 m and its speed at 20 m/second.
capable of a muzzle velocity of 48 m/sec.
the instant the bird is directly overhead, at what angle
should he incline his rifle in order to hit it?
How many
meters from his position will the bird hit the ground assum-
ing that the weight of the bullet compared to the weight of
the bird is negligible?
