Question

When a rifle fires at a distant target, where
should the barrel be pointing?
1. above the target
2. to the left of the target
3. to the right of the target
4. directly at the target
5. diagonally from the target
6. below the target

Answer 1

bullet accelerates downward at about 9.8 meters/ second^2

If you throw a ball to someone do you not make allowance for it falling during flight?

Answer 2

above the target is the correct answer because gravity will cause the bullet to fall down
