Answer:
The distance the bullet will miss the target is 1.13 m.
Explanation:
Given;
Initial velocity of the bullet = 250 m/s
Distance of the target = 120 m
Time of motion;
t = 120 / 250
t = 0.48 s
During this time the bullet is under the gravitational pull and the distance it will miss the target is given by;
Y = V₀y + ¹/₂gt²
where;
V₀y is the initial vertical velocity = 0
Y = 0+ ¹/₂gt²
Y = ¹/₂(9.8)(0.48)²
Y = 1.13 m
Therefore, the distance the bullet will miss the target is 1.13 m.
