Question

While firing one has to aim a little above the target and not exactly on the target. Explain
.l

Answer 1

when an arrow or a bullet is fired it does not move exactly straight on its path. it follows a projectile as its motion is affected by the force of gravity( the gravity pulls the object downloads) . so when we fire a bullet or an arrow a little above its target, then it follows a projectile to reach its target instead of hitting somewhere below the target.

Answer 2

$\underline{\underline{\Huge\mathfrak{Answer-: }}}$

◆As soon as a bullet is fired from a gun whose barrel is lined up exactly on the target, it starts falling downwards on account of acceleration due to gravity. Due to which the bullet will hit below the target. Just to avoid it, the barrel of the gun is lined up little above the target, sothat the bullet, after travelling in parabolic path hits the distant target.
