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

Distance from the center of target and where the bullet actually hit is 59.70 m

Explanation:

Given :

Initial speed of the bullet, u = 240 m/s

Horizontal distance between the shooter and target, d = 60 m

Consider t be the time taken by bullet to hit the target.

Time t can be determine by the relation:

t = 0.25 s

Consider y be the distance between center of the target and where the bullet actually hit.

Distance y is determine by the relation :

Her g is acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute 240 m/s for u, 0.25 s for t and 9.8 m/s² for g in the above equation.

y = 59.70 m

that would be b i just took the test : )
