Answer

47.9 m

Work Step by Step

Let's apply equation 3.5b $S=ut +\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ to find the traveled time of the bullet. $\downarrow S=ut +\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $0.025\space m=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\space m/s^{2}\times t^{2}$ $t^{2}=5.1\times10^{-3}$ $t=0.07\space s$ Let's apply equation 3.5a $S=ut +\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ to find the displacement between the end of the rifle and the bull's eye. $\rightarrow S=ut +\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $x=670\space m/s\times0.07\space s$ $x=47.9\space m$ The displacement between the end of the rifle and the bull's eye = 47.9 m
