Answer:
<em>The bullet was 0.52 seconds in the air.</em>
Explanation:
<u>Horizontal Motion </u>
It occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h.
The object describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it hits the ground.
To calculate the time the object takes to hit the ground, we use the following equation:
Note it doesn't depend on the initial velocity but on the height.
The bullet is fired horizontally at h=1.3 m, thus:
t = 0.52 s
The bullet was 0.52 seconds in the air.
