Determining Horizontal Distance
A horizontal rifle is fired at a bull's eye. The muzzle speed of the bullet is 670 m/s. The barrel is pointed directly at the center of the bull's eye, but the bullet strikes the target .025 m below the center. What is the horizontal distance between the end of the rifle and the bull's eye?

Solution Summary
This solution provides calculations for finding the horizontal distance between the end of a rifle and a bull's eye.
Determine the distance when the ball is struck again
A ball of mass 150 g is fired from a smooth 30 degree incline at an angle theta with the incline as shown in the figure in the attachment. The initial velocity of the ball is v0 = 10 m/s. It travels after struck by the ground with the velocity v2 as shown. If the coefficient of restitution between ball and ground is 0.75, determine the distance d when the ball is again struck by the ground. Also calculate the time t when the ball struck the ground for the second time.
Please show all work and solve it just for theta = 30 degrees.
