A projectile is fired from a horizontal springloaded gun aimed directly (along the line of sight) at a distant bull’s eye. Because of the pull of gravity during flight, the projectile misses and hits a point at distance y beneath the bull’s eye. To hit the bull’s eye, the gun should be aimed along a line of sight above the bull’s eye, a vertical distance________a) of y, exactly. b) slightly higher than y. c) slightly lower than y.

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B.

A projectile is fired horizontal but it misses the target by a distance of y to hit the bull's eye the projectile should be fired slightly higher than y.

When You fire from the gun there will weight acting downward on the bullet and also the wind resistance is also acting on the bullet.

Due to all this resistance, the bullet misses the expected target.

So, to hit the target one needs to hit above distance of y  

so, that even after all the resistance it can easily hit the target.
