A rifle is aimed horizontally at the center of a large target 60 m away. The initial speed of the bullet is 240 m/s. What is the distance from the center of the target to the point where the bullet strikes the target

The distance from the center of the target to the point where the bullet strikes the target is 0.31 m.

Explanation:

Given;

the position of center of the target, x₀ = 60 m

initial velocity of the bullet, u = 240 m/s

The time the bullet strikes the center of the large target is calculated as;

The distance from the center of the target to the point where the bullet strikes the target is calculated as;

x = vt + ¹/₂gt²

where;

v is the final velocity of the bullet when it strikes the target = 0

x = 0 + ¹/₂(9.8)(0.25²)

x = 0.31 m

Therefore, the distance from the center of the target to the point where the bullet strikes the target is 0.31 m.

force tends to be low and long diustance masses are high
