A bullet fired at an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal hits the ground $3.0\; km$ away. By adjusting its angle of projection, can one hope to hit a target $5.0\; km$ away ? Assume the muzzle speed to be fixed, and neglect air resistance.

Range of a bullet fired at $45^o$ to horizontal is $980m$. If the bullet is fired at same  angle from a car travelling horizontally at $18\, km/hr$ towards target then range will be  increased by :-
