Answer:
≅50°
Explanation:
We have a bullet flying through the air with only gravity pulling it down, so let's use one of our kinematic equations:
Δx=V₀t+at²/2
And since we're using Δx, V₀ should really be the initial velocity in the x-direction. So:
Δx=(V₀cosθ)t+at²/2
Now luckily we are given everything we need to solve (or you found the info before posting here):
- Δx=760 m
- V₀=87 m/s
- t=13.6 s
- a=g=-9.8 m/s²; however, at 760 m, the acceleration of the bullet is 0 because it has already hit the ground at this point!
With that we can plug the values in to get:




To solve this we assume
that the gas inside is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas
equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of
moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of
condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as
follows:
T1 / V1 = T2 / V2
V2 = T2 x V1 / T1
V2 = 659.7 x 28 / 504.7
