A bullet leaves a gun with a horizontal velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate the distance it would travel in 1.3 seconds.
a 1247 m
b 0.013 m
c 130 m
d 76.92 m

Respuesta :

Ignoring air resistance, the bullet's horizontal velocity is constant:

[tex]v_x=v_{0x}=100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}[/tex]

In 1.3 seconds, we can expect it to travel

[tex]v_xt=\left(100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.3\,\mathrm s)=130\,\mathrm m[/tex]
