The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the range of a rifle bullet on an incline of 30 degrees given that the range on level ground is 60 m, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: - The range on level ground (R) = 60 m. - The angle of incline (θ) = 30 degrees. - The acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s². 2. **Use the Range Formula**: The range of a projectile on level ground is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{u^2}{g} \] where \(u\) is the initial velocity. 3. **Find the Initial Velocity (u)**: Rearranging the formula to find \(u\): \[ u^2 = R \cdot g \] Substituting the values: \[ u^2 = 60 \cdot 10 = 600 \] Therefore, \(u = \sqrt{600} = 10\sqrt{6} \, \text{m/s}\). 4. **Calculate the Range on an Incline**: The range on an incline is given by the formula: \[ R' = \frac{u^2}{g} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)} \cdot (1 + \sin(\theta)) \] For θ = 30 degrees: - \(\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}\) - \(\cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) Plugging in the values: \[ R' = \frac{u^2}{g} \cdot \frac{1 + \sin(30^\circ)}{\cos(30^\circ)} \] \[ R' = \frac{600}{10} \cdot \frac{1 + \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \] \[ R' = 60 \cdot \frac{1.5}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = 60 \cdot \frac{3}{\sqrt{3}} = 60\sqrt{3} \] 5. **Final Calculation**: To find the numerical value: \[ R' = 60 \cdot \frac{3}{\sqrt{3}} = 60 \cdot \sqrt{3} \approx 60 \cdot 1.732 \approx 103.92 \, \text{m} \] ### Conclusion: The range of the rifle bullet on an incline of 30 degrees is approximately \( 103.92 \, \text{m} \).
