A Bullet Is Aimed at a Target on the Wall $\Delta$

question 56

Multiple Choice

A bullet is aimed at a target on the wall a distance L away from the firing position. Because of gravity, the bullet strikes the wall a distance $\Delta$ y below the mark as suggested in the figure. Note: The drawing is not to scale. If the distance L was half as large and the bullet had the same initial velocity, how would $\Delta$ y be affected?

• A)\(\Delta\)y will double.
• B)\(\Delta\)y will be half as large.
• C)\(\Delta\)y will be four times larger.
• D)\(\Delta\)y will be one fourth as large.
• E)\(\Delta\)y is not possible to determine unless numerical values are given for the distances.
