    • In case you missed label the bajesus out of your diagram (See above)
  • Write down key/critical quantities (Like the hunter in the monkey)

ssm 3.43 From the top of a tall building, a gun is fired. The bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 340 m/s, parallel to the drawing shows, the bullet puts a hole in a window of another building and hits the wall that faces the window. Using the data in the drawing, determine the distances D and H, which locate the point where the gun was fired. Assume that the bullet does not slow down as it passes through the window.

    2. I think I might be encountering a similar problem. I can see the one initial picture that is part of the post, but no other one. When I try to open it I get a "Not Found Error 404" message.

  2. I'm having a lot of trouble approaching this problem without a given value for x and y. What should our first step be?

    1. Y=.42m X=7.2m. This is information that easily could be measured at the scene! (And should have been included so much for cut and paste)
