One December night, a family had gathered around their fireside and piled it high with wood gathered froin mountain streams and ruins of great trees that had come falling down the mountain sides. The fire roared and brightened the ro.om with its light. The faces of the father and mother had a quiet gladness, the children laughed, the oldest daughter was the picture of happiness at seventeen, and the aged grandmother who. sat sewing in the warmest place was the picture of happiness grown old.

I will never forget that day. It was a day in BSF academy at Tekanpur. We were a batch of 96 officers being taken for an intensive training in arms. Of these, 20 of us engineers and IITians. Having studied projectile motion during our school days, we were quite keen to see it being demonstrated in case of. weapons, the man showing us the demo was using an AK-47 fitted with tracer bullets. As they were fired, we could actually see them, they would emit light. First of all the man fired at the center of the target 30 m away while firing horizontally. We could actually see the bullet moving in a parabolic path and hitting 2 cm below the target. ''You see. That is what I said. For accurate firing you need to aim not at the target but slightly above.'' (g = 10 m//s^(2)) What was the initila velocity of the bullet?

Look at the situation shown in figure-1.99. A fire man fires his shot aiming to a monkey, who fall sat the time of shot. So the shot has passed the highest point of it strajectory and is descending when it hits the monkey, which is still in air. At the instant, the shot was at the highest point of its trajectory,was them on key's height above the ground the same, lower, or higher than that of the shot. Explain your answer.
