A soldier is tasked with measuring the muzzle velocity of a new rifle. Knowing the principles of projectile motion, the soldier decides to perform a simple experiment at the indoor firing range. The soldier hangs a target a distance of d =108 m from the end of the barrel. The rifle is mounted so that the bullet exits moving horizontally at the same height as the bull's‑eye. After six trials, the soldier tabulates the values they measured for the distance ℎ from the bull's‑eye to the bullet strike.
