Physics (Essay) Paper 2 WASSCE (SC), 2020

Question 6

 

 

A bullet is fired from a gun at 300 to the horizontal. The bullet remains in flight for 25 s before touching the ground. Calculate the velocity of projection. [g= 10 m s-2]

 

Observation

 

This question tested the ability of candidates to solve projectile questions. The performance was fair.

The expected answer is:

                     Calculation of velocity of projection of fired bullet

Time of flight T = d                  
25 = d                
u = 250 m s-1
