Aspring loaded gun shoots a 0.1 kg bullet vertically downward with an initial speed of 16 m/s. how far is the bullet from the muzzle 0.3 s after firing? a) 5.24m below the muzzle
b) 5.24m above the muzzle
c) 0.441m below the muzzle
d) 4.36 m below the muzzle

The distance of the bullet is 5.24 m below the muzzle.

(A) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bullet = 0.1 kg

Initial speed = 16 m/s

Time = 0.3 s

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

Where, u = initial speed

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The distance of the bullet is 5.24 m below the muzzle.
