Question

A bullet is fired horizontally from a handgun at a target 100.0 m away. If the initial speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun is 300.0 m/s, how far vertically will the bullet have dropped by the time it hits the target? Ignore the effects of air resistance.

Answer 1

The bullet will have been dropped vertically h= 0.54 meters by the time it hits the target.

Step-by-step explanation:

d= 100m

V= 300 m/s

g= 9.8 m/s²

d= V*t

t= d/V

t= 0.33 s

h= g*t²/2

h=0.54 m
