Explanation:
PEgrav = m *• g • h
In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth) - sometimes referred to as the acceleration of gravity.

Answer:
≅50°
Explanation:
We have a bullet flying through the air with only gravity pulling it down, so let's use one of our kinematic equations:
Δx=V₀t+at²/2
And since we're using Δx, V₀ should really be the initial velocity in the x-direction. So:
Δx=(V₀cosθ)t+at²/2
Now luckily we are given everything we need to solve (or you found the info before posting here):
- Δx=760 m
- V₀=87 m/s
- t=13.6 s
- a=g=-9.8 m/s²; however, at 760 m, the acceleration of the bullet is 0 because it has already hit the ground at this point!
With that we can plug the values in to get:




I believe the answer would be Kinetic Energy. Kinetic energy is defined as energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. We weren’t given answer choices so I don’t have much to work with lol.
