Question 12Napoleon fires a warning shot out of his handgun. If the bullet leavesthe gun with an initial speed of 472 m/s and travels straight upward,how much time in seconds does the person firing the gun have tomove out of the way before the bullet hits the ground? (Ignore theeffects of air resistance.)Answer:

Initial vertical speed, u = 472 m/s Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s2 The time of the…
