Projection Under uniform Acceleration

Question

A gun fires a bullet at a speed of 140 ms–1. If the bullet is to hit a target at the same level as the gun and at 1 km distance, the angle of projection may be

Moderate
Solution

\large R = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\theta }}{g} \Rightarrow 1000 = \frac{{140 \times 140 \times \sin 2\theta }}{{9.8}}
\large sin 2\theta = \frac{{98}}{{196}} = \frac{1}{2}
\large 2\theta = {30^0} \Rightarrow \theta = {15^0}(or){75^0}
