Answer:
h = 51020.40 meters
Explanation:
Speed of the rifle, v = 1000 m/s
Let h is the height gained by the bullet. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :
[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh[/tex]
[tex]h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}[/tex]
[tex]h=\dfrac{(1000\ m/s)^2}{2\times 9.8\ m/s^2}[/tex]
h = 51020.40 meters
So, the bullet will get up to a height of 51020.40 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
