Question

A kid fires a slingshot pellet directly at a target that is far enough away to take one-half second to reach. How far below the target does the pellet hit? How high above the target should she aim?v

Answer 1

If it weren't for gravity the pellet would hit the bulls eye.
The pellet drops because of the acceleration due to gravity which is about -9.8m/sec^2. To determine how far the pellet falls, we have to find out the average velocity the pellet had in the y (vertical) direction and multiply that by the time it took (.5 sec). In .5 sec the pellet was traveling at 4.9 m/sec toward earth ( remember that an acceleration of -9.8 m/sec^2 means that each second a falling object will speed up by 9,8m/sec.)
So the average velocity it had in the y direction was 4.9-0/2 m/sec or 2.45m/sec.It had that velocity for .5 seconds,

so the distance it fell was (2.45m/sec)(.5sec)=1.225m
So she should aim 1.225m above the target.

Answer 2

Target Slingshot

Answer 3

the fee of sound is approximately 1125fps Your Crosman hurricane XT will push(muzzle velocity) an 8.0gr pellet at someplace between 850fps and 900fps The sound wave will arrive earlier the pellet, no count the variety. once you're apprehensive approximately small interest(rabbit, squirrel, etc) listening to the record, and reacting to it earlier the pellet arrives, do no longer, they are no longer able. The Crosman hurricane XT could have a optimal useful(small interest) looking selection of someplace around 30-35 yards. looking on how precise your rifle is and how solid a shot you're. I used 875fps with your Predator Polymag pellets. they might arrive at 30 yards .04(hundredths) of a 2d after the sound wave. nevertheless traveling 622fps which interprets into 6.9ft-lbs** **it takes a minimum of 5.0ft-lbs "at effect" to make a speedy, sparkling, humane kill on a rabbit. it incredibly is with a solid head shot.

Answer 4

1.225 meters.
The formula is (1/2)(acceleration)(time squared)
this is only the formula for this situation, so dont try to use it in every situation, but this is how it looks with the numbers.
(.5)(9.8)(.5)(.5)
(4.9)(.25)
1.225 meters
or in feet
(.5)(32)(.5)(.5)
4 feet

the 9.8 is acceleration due to gravity in meters/second/second
likewise, the 32 is acceleration in feet/second/second.

Answer 5

2 meters

Answer 6

You wanna maybe give us the speed of the projectile or some kind of distance?

You might as well have said, "I'm going somewhere. When will I get there?"

You know how they say there are no stupid question.... This is the exception.

Answer 7

4.8 meters below the target i think???

Answer 8

this is unanswerable, there are way too many variables that are not listed.
