A bullet is fired straight up from a gun with a muzzle velocity of 136 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, what will be its displacement after 1.3 s? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed with which the bullet is fired, u = 136 m/s

Time, t = 1.3 s

We need to find the displacement of the bullet after 1.3 seconds. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as :

[tex]s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

Here, a = -g

[tex]s=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

[tex]s=136\times 1.3-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (1.3)^2[/tex]

s = 168.51 meters

So, the displacement of the bullet after 1.3 seconds is 168.51 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
