Question 1: A clay shooting platform is set up so that a shooter fires their gun from point A at an angle of 30, with the geometry shown. Find the muzzle velocity of the gun if the bullet hits the projectile at point C. (What is the initial speed of the bullet?) A 30 1.8 m 25 m 15 m 1) C Givin - see diagram 1 Find VA. 15m Need tas a function of VA. to solve. A 1.8m 25m .: Xc = XA + VA Cos 30 t 25 = 0 + VA (53) t ()t 50 t=TVA (= 28.9) Now Y = YA + V sin 30t- zg = a t L 15 = 1.8 + 1/4 (2) (301) - zg (150) 2 2=3313 m 52 A |VA = 57.6
