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

Question 57

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 Δ\Delta y below the mark as suggested in the figure. Note: The drawing is not to scale.  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.)  If the distance L was half as large and the bullet had the same initial velocity, how would Δ\Delta y be affected?
