A bullet is fired with a speed of \(1000 \quad m/sec\) in order to hit a target 100 m away. If \(g = 10 \, m/s^{2}\) , the gun should be aimed

Directly towards the target

5 cm above the target

10 cm above the target

15 cm above the target

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

Bullet will take \(\frac{100}{1000} = 0.1\) sec to reach target.

During this period vertical distance (downward)

travelled by the bullet \(= \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\) \(= \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (0.1)^2 m = 0.05 \, m\)

So the gun should be aimed 5 cm above the target.
