In the Civil War there were numerous incidents in which the bullet fired from a Union soldier's rifle struck and fused with the bullet from a Confederate's rifle. Assume the impact scenario. The Union bullet (2 oz) has a speed of vu=720ft/s and its velocity is oriented at 2° to the horizontal. The Confederate bullet (2.5 oz.) has a speed of vc = 700ft/s and its velocity vector is oriented at 1° to the horizontal.

a. Where and when does the fused pair land?

b. How does this result differ from the case of oblique impact with zero force interaction in the vertical direction and e=0 ?
