A bullet is aimed at a target on the wall a distance L away from the firing position. Because of gravity, the bullet strikes the wall a distance Deltay below the mark as suggested in the figure. The drawing is not to scale. If the distance L was half as large and the bullet had the same initial velocity, how would Deltay be affected?

Statement 1 : A bullet is fired and it hits a target. An observer in the same plane heard two sounds: the crack of the rifle and the thud of the bullet striking the target at the same instant. Then the locus of the observer is a hyperbola where the velocity of sound is smaller than the velocity of the bullet. Statement 2 : If the difference of distances of a point P from two fixed points is constant and less than the distance between the fixed points, then the locus of P is a hyperbola.
