Problem 4: A person shoots a gun at a target that is 65 m away. The center of the target is at the same height as the gun. The person aims the gun upward at an angle so that the bullet hits the center of the target. The bullet leaves the gun at a velocity of 210 m/s. What is the angle of the gun in degrees from the positive x-axis? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.
