A bullet fired at an angle of 30° with the horizontal hits the ground 3 km away. By adjusting its angle of projection can one hope to hit a target 5 km away. Assume the nuzzle speed to be fixed and neglect air resistance.

Range, R = 3 km
Angle of projection, θ = 30°
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2
Horizontal range for the projection velocity u0, is given by the relation:
R = u02 Sin 2θ / g
3 = u02 Sin 600 / g
u02 / g = 2√3      …….(i)
The maximum range (Rmax) is achieved by the bullet when it is fired at an angle of 45° with the horizontal, that is,
Rmax = u02 / g    ….(ii)

On comparing equations (i) and (ii), we get:

Rmax = 3√3
= 2 X 1.732 = 3.46 km
Hence, the bullet will not hit a target 5 km away.

R=U²sin2@/g U=√(R×g/sin2@) U=√(3000×9.8/sin60°) U=184.25 For maximum range@=45° R (max)=U/g=3464 So it is not possible to reach the bullet on given target

The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence
work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement?
The force on earth jn circular trajectory is gravity,acting radially inward...the direction of motion is tangential.....as u knw work is dot product of force and dx, the work done is zero.

Sameer went on his bike from Delhi to Gurgaon at a speed of 60km/hr and came back at a speed of 40km/hr. What is his average speed for entire journey?
To find the average speed, you need to know the formula of average speed. The avg speed 0= 2 d / (t1+ t2) = 2 v1.v2/(V1 + V2). Just substitute the value.
