To solve the problem, we need to determine the acute angle of inclination of the pistol for maximum range when the car is moving with a uniform velocity. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We know that the maximum range of a bullet fired from a toy pistol mounted on a car at rest is \( R_0 = 40 \, m \). The car is now moving with a velocity \( V = 20 \, m/s \). We need to find the angle of inclination \( \theta \) for maximum range when the car is in motion. ### Step 2: Calculate the Initial Velocity of the Bullet The formula for the maximum range \( R \) of a projectile launched at an angle \( \theta \) with an initial velocity \( U \) is given by: \[ ...
