Final answer:
The bullet will take 4.08 seconds to travel a distance of 8,560 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the time it takes for the bullet to travel a distance of 8,560 feet, we need to convert the velocity from feet per second (ft/s) to seconds. Given that the bullet's velocity is 2100 ft/s, we can use the formula:
time = distance/velocity
Substituting the values, we get: time = 8560 ft / 2100 ft/s = 4.08 seconds.
So, the calculation for the time it takes for the bullet to traverse the distance is t = 8.0 × 10⁻² m / 5.0 × 10² m/s which equals 1.6 × 10⁻´ s.
