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

Answer:

t = 0.25 seconds

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.

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{200\ m}{800\ m/s}\\\\t=0.25\ s$

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