The formula for Range = v^2/g x sin 2A Given 3000 = v^2/g x sin 60 Hence v^2/g = 3000/sin 60 = 6000/1.732 = 3464.2 The Range will be maximum when the angle pf firing is 45 degree Range = v^2/g x sin 90 = 3464.2 x 1 = 3464.2 m So the bulet will not hit a target 5000 m away.

If force is acting on a moving body perpendicular to the direction of motion, then what will be its effect on the speed and direction of the body?
The magnitude of velocity shall decrease and direction shall be same till it comes to rest, afterwards it shall move in direction of force with acceleration due to the applied force.

Sameer went on his bike from Delhi to Gurgaon at a speed of 60km/hr and came back at a speed of 40km/hr. What is his average speed for entire journey?
To find the average speed, you need to know the formula of average speed. The avg speed 0= 2 d / (t1+ t2) = 2 v1.v2/(V1 + V2). Just substitute the value.
