A bullet is shot straight up into the air from ground level. It reaches a maximum height at h = 739 m.

Complete question:

A bullet is shot straight up into the air from ground level. It reaches a maximum height at h = 739 m. Calculate the initial velocity of the bullet.

the initial velocity of the bullet is 120.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

maximum height reached by the bullet, h = 739 m

let the initial velocity of the bullet = u

At maximum height the final velocity of the bullet, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the initial velocity of the bullet.

v² = u² - 2gh

0 = u² - 2gh

u² = 2gh

u = √2gh

u = √(2 x 9.8 x 739)

u = 120.35 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the bullet is 120.35 m/s
