Question

A gun throws a shell with a muzzle speed of 98 m/s. When the gun is elevated at 45°, the range is observed as 900m. Due to air resistance its range is decreased by ..

  1. 40m    
  2. 80m    
  3. 120m    
  4. 160m    

The correct answer is: 80m


    If there is no air resistance, expected horizontal range is
    R equals fraction numerator U to the power of 2 end exponent s i n invisible function application 2 theta over denominator g end fraction equals fraction numerator 98 cross times 98 s i n invisible function application 9 0 over denominator 9.8 end fraction equals 980 m
    Actual range R to the power of 1 end exponent equals 900 m
    Range is decreased by = 980-900
    = 80m
