Question #3
A bullet has a speed of 350 m s-1 as it leaves a rifle. If it is fired horizontally from a cliff
6.4 m above a lake, how far does the bullet travel before striking the water?

Given:
vix= 350 m s-1
dy= 6.4 m
dx= ?

Solution:
dx = vixt
a. Solve for time
2 dy
t=
g
t=

t=

2(6.4 m)
9.8 m s
12.8 m
9.8 m s

t = 1.142857143 s>1.143 s
b.
dx = vixt
dx= (350 m s-1) (1.143 s)
dx= 400.05 m
dx= 400 m
