you fire a bullet from a gun that is 0.981 meters above ground aimed perfectly parallel to the ground. it has an initial velocity of 981 m/s. how long will it take the bullet to reach the ground?



Answer :

The time taken for the  bullet to reach the ground is  0.447 s

What is free fall?

The falling of a body under the force of gravity only,it is not experienced by any external force.

Height from which the bullet id fired, h  = 0.981 m

initial velocity of the bullet, u₁ = 981 m/s

Since it is fired parallel to the ground , the initial velocity u₁ does not have a vertical component

So it will be a free fall

Therefore the time taken to reach ground , t =√(2h/g)

t = √(2 * 0.981 / 9.81)

 = √(1/5)

 = √0.2

t  =  0.447 s

Therefore the time taken for the  bullet to reach the ground is  0.447 s
