Kinematics Question 204

Question: A bullet it’s fired with a speed of 1000m/sec in order to hit a target 100 m away. If g=10m/s2 , the gun should be aimed [MP PET 1996]

Options:

A) Directly towards the target

B) 5 cm above the target

C) 10 cm above the target

D) 15 cm above the target

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Bullet will take 1001000=0.1 sec to reach target. During this period vertical distance (downward) travelled by the bullet =12gt2

=12×10×(0.1)2m=5 cm So the gun should be aimed 5 cm above the target.
