Answer:

Time taken, t = 4.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the bullet, v = 720 m/s

Distance to be covered by the target, d = 3240 m

Let t is the time required for the bullet to strike a target. The time taken is calculated as :


t=(d)/(v)


t=(3240\ m)/(720\ m/s)

t = 4.5 seconds

So, the time required for the bullet to strike a target is 4.5 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
