Question

A bullet is fired horizontally with initial velocity of 800 m/s as a target located 200 mfrom the rifle.(a).How much time is required for the bullet to reach the target

Answer 1

t = 0.25 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a bullet, v = 800 m/s

Distance from the target is 200 m

We need to find the time required for the bullet to reach the target. Time is simply calculated by the definition of velocity i.e.

`t=(d)/(v)\\\\t=(200\ m)/(800\ m/s)\\\\t=0.25\ s`

So, it will take 0.25 seconds to reach the target.
