Using the kinematic equation d = V_0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2, where d is height you can rewrite this to be d = 1/2*g*t^2 or 4.9t^2
g = a because this is a free fall
d = 1/2 * 9.81m/s^2 * 2.5^2
d = 30.65625m
d = 30.7m
Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.
the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have
11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 = 3.16 m /s^-2
Clarify what you mean by ratios?
