Question

the rate of the fall of an object can be determined by the formula h=1/2gt^2 where h is the height, g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is time in seconds. If a gun is fired 5 feet above the ground and level to the ground, how far would the bullet travel if its velocity is 600 ms^-1 (assume no air resistance)

Answer 1

solve for t in

16t^2 = 5

then plug that t into the distance

d = 600t

Answer 2

sorry where did you get 16 from?

Answer 3

g = 32 ft/s^2
ya just gotta know some things
