Item 10 Now we are going to look at a classic example of projectile motion: a bullet fired from a gun. A paintball is fired horizontally at a speed of 75.0 m/s from a point 1.50 m above the ground. The ball misses its target and hits the ground some distance away. (a) For how many seconds is the ball in the air? (b) Find the maximum horizontal displacement (which we'll call the range of the ball). Ignore air resistance. Figure Yo-150m Yox -750 m/s Y-O 1 of 1 x=20+0=0+ (75.0 m/s) (0.553 s) REFLECT Actual ranges of paintballs are less than this, typically about 30 m. The difference the horizontal component of velocity. Part A - Practice Problem: If air resistance is ignored, what initial speed is required for a range of 23 m? Express your answer in meters per second. ΕΠΙ ΑΣΦ Submit Request Answer C m/s
