A paintball gun fires a paintball horizontally at a target which is 50 m away. The initial horizontal velocity of the paintball is 75 m s¹¹. Air resistance can be ignored. i Determine how far the paint ball has dropped by the time it reaches the target. ii Determine the angle between the paintball's direction and the horizontal when it hits the target. [ iii. The gun has a mass of 3.4 kg and the paintball has a mass of 3.5 x 10 kg. Determine the recoil velocity of the gun. iv. Calculate the initial kinetic energy of the paintball. [2
