A bullet is fired horizontally aiming at an object which starts falling at the instant the bullet is fired. Show that the bullet will hit the object.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To show that the bullet will hit the object, we can analyze the motion of both the bullet and the falling object using the principles of kinematics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Conditions**: - The bullet is fired horizontally with an initial velocity \( u \). - The object (let's say a target) starts falling from rest at the same instant the bullet is fired. ...

A bullet is fired from horizontal ground at some angle passes through the point (3R/4 ,R/4), where R is the range of the bullet. Assume point of the fire to be origin and the bullet moves in x-y plane with x-axis horizontal and y-axis vertically upwards. Then angle of projection is

Two paper screens A and B are separated by a distance of 100m . A bullet pierces A and B . The hole in B is 10 cm below the hole in A . If the bullet is travelling horizontally at the time of hitting the screen A , calculate the velocity of the bullet when it hits the screen A . Neglect resistance of paper and air.

A bullet moving with a velocity of 30sqrt(2) ms^(-1) is fired into a fixed target. It penetrated into the target to the extent of s metres. If the same bullet is fired into a target of thickness (s)/(2) metres and of the same material with the same velocity, then the bullet comes out of the target with velocity

A hunter aims his gun and fires a bullet directly toward's a monkey sitting on a distance tree. At the intant the bullet leaves the barrel of the gun, the monkey drops from the tree : (i) Will the bullet hit the aim ? (ii) What Path of bullet will be appeared to monkey ? (iii) If monkey does not drop from the tree will bullet hit the aim ?

Assertion : A bullet is fired from a rifle. If the rifle recoils freely, the kinetic energy of rifle is more than that of the bullet. Reason : In the case of rifle bullet system the law of conservation of momentum violates.
