The maximum range of a bullet fired from a toy pistol mounted on a car at rest is m. What will be the acute angle of inclination of the pistol for maximum range when the car is moving in the direction of firing with uniform velocity v = 20 m/s on a horizontal surface?

Answer: (2)

Solution

From the car at rest, m/s. With the car moving, the horizontal component becomes and the time of flight is , so \fracExtra open brace or missing close brace{2u\sin\cos$θ
