Question:

A goose is flying horizontally along at a speed of S m/s and at an altitude of H m when it passes a goose  hunter below lying at (0,0) with a goose rifle. Simultaneously, the hunter shoots a bullet up at an angle θ from  the horizontal with a velocity V m/s hoping to shoot the goose. Assume the acceleration due to gravity is g m/s2.  (i) Explain why x = St describes the distance the goose has flown after t seconds. You may assume the equations  of motion x =Vt cosθ and  y =Vt sinθ  gt22 describe the horizontal and vertical distances of the bullet after t seconds.  Assume that the bullet hits the goose.  (ii) Explain why S =V cosθ .  (iii) Hence show that 2 tan 2 H =  gt22 + St θ .  (iv) Hence show that there are two possible occasions when the bullet can shoot the goose if S2 tan2θ > 2gH .
