or:... the gun with a velocity of 300ms-1, at what distance from the gun will the bullet strike the ground

or:s = (1/2) at^2 general formula for acceleration.s = 4.9 t^2 same formula with gravity constant plugged in.t = \u221a(1.4/4.9) same formula solved for time to fall 1.4 meters.t = 0.5345 srange = 300ms^-1 x 0.5345s = 160.357 m
