Question

A bullet is fired with an initial velocity 300 ms–1 at an angle of 300 with the horizontal. At what distance from the gun will the bullet strike the ground?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

R = 7953 m

● Explaination -

# Given -

θ = 30°

u = 300 m/s

# Solution -

Distance at which bullet strikes the ground is horizontal distance covered by projectile.

R = u².sin2θ/g

R = 300² × sin60° / 9.8

R = 9×10^4 × 0.866 / 9.8

R = 7953 m

Therefore, distance from the gun where the bullet strikes the ground is 7953 m.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
