Document Summary

Limited lecture notes were taken today as most of the class period was dedicated to lab. You are shooting at a bear from the ground. The bear decides to drop out of the tree when you release the tranquilizer dart. Bear is l horizontally (l is the range) and h vertically from you. Theta1 is a fixed value (where the bear is) Theta2 is variable (position of tranquilizer gun) Expressions are equal when theta 1 and theta 2 are the same, meaning you should aim at the bear (gun should have same angle as the bear)
