A small can is hanging from the ceiling

Reference no: EM13666092

A small can is hanging from the ceiling. A rifle is aimed directly at the can, as the figure illustrates. At the instant the gun is fired, the can is released. Ignore air resistance and show that the bullet will always strike the can, regardless of the initial speed of the bullet. Suppose that the bullet strikes the can before they can reach the ground.
