Answer:
It travels 1414 feets.
Explanation:
Let's take the length the bullet travels <em>l </em>as the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the height it reaches one of its sides. Since we got the angle α at which it was fired and the height <em>h</em> it reached, we can calculate <em>l</em> using the <em>sin(α)</em> function:

Answer:
Explanation:
I is the moment of inertia of the pulley, α is the angular acceleration of the pulley and T is the tension in the rope. Let a is the linear acceleration.
The relation between the linear acceleration and the angular acceleration is
a = R α .... (1)
According to the diagram,
T x R = I x α
T x R = I x a / R from equation (1)
T = I x a / R² .... (2)
mg - T = ma .... (3)
Substitute the value of T from equation (2) in equation (3)
T is the acceleration in the system
Substitute the value of a in equation (2)
This is the tension in the string.
