1) The horizontal range of the bullet is 884 m

2) The maximum height attained by the bullet is 383 m

Explanation:

1)

The motion of the bullet is a projectile motion, which consists of two separate motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

From the equation of motions along the x- and y- directions, it is possible to find an expression for the horizontal range covered by a projectile, and it is:

d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

where

u is the initial speed of the projectile

\theta is the angle of projection

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

For the bullet in the problem, we have

u = 100 m/s (initial speed)

\theta=60^{\circ} (angle)

Solving the equation, we find the horizontal range:

d=\frac{(100)^2sin(2\cdot 60^{\circ})}{9.8}=884 m

2)

To find the maximum height, we have to analyze the vertical motion of the bullet. We can do it by using the following suvat equation:

v_y^2 - u_y^2 = 2as

where

v_y is the vertical velocity of the bullet after having covered a vertical displacement of s

u_y is the initial vertical velocity

a =-g= is the acceleration (negative, since it points downward)

The vertical component of the initial velocity is given by

u_y = u sin\theta

Also, the maximum height s is reached when the vertical velocity becomes zero,

v_y =0

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging for s, we find the maximum height:

s=\frac{u^2 sin^2 \theta}{2g}=\frac{(100)^2(sin 60^{\circ})^2}{2(9.8)}=383 m

Tanya [424]
Because it records speed of the car at a certain time, the independent variable should be time and dependent would be speed or velocity. Since it's taken every second, it would be considered instantaneous velocity, which is D.
