A bullet is fired from ground level at 120 m/s in the +55° direction. The bullet hits the ground x meters away. Setup with three completely labeled diagrams, the first showing the trajectory of the stone, the second its vertical motion and the third its horizontal motion. Calculate the vertical and horizontal components of the initial velocity. Using the formula (y = v0yt …) and obtain the time interval the bullet travels through air. Calculate how far from the point that it was fired the bullet will hit the ground.
