Good Day,
I can't understand why i am not getting the right answer for this _Motion in Space problem.
A gun has a muzzle speed of 80 m/s. What angle of elevation should be used to hit an object 180 meters away?
theta = sin^-1 (180g/d^2) right?
so....
theta = sin^-1((180 * 9.8)/(180^2))
theta = 16.26 deg.
= 0.283 rad.
Right?
can't understand how this isn't right??
Help is appreciated.
Thx in adv.
