A riffle shoots a bullet with a muzzle velocity 100m/s at a small target 200m away.How high above the target must the riffle be aimed do that the bullet will hit the ground?

time taken to reach by bullet 200m away from initial position is t = 200/100 = 2sec.

now, here vertical initial speed = 0
vertical acceleration, a = acceleration due to gravity

so, use formula, S = ut + 1/2at² for vertical component.
s = 0 + 1/2 at²

s = 0 + 1/2 × 10 × 2²

s = 20m

hence, 20m above the target must the riffle be aimed do that the bullet will hit the ground
