A bullet fired vertically upwards reaches a height of 500m. Neglecting air resistance, calculate the magnitude of the initial velocity of the bullet. [g = 10ms-2]
A
500.0ms-1
B
100.0ms-1
C
70.0ms-1
D
50.0ms-1
correct option: b
V2 = U2 + 2gs

V2 = 0

V2 = 2gs

h = 500m

g = 10ms-2

V2 2 x 10 x 500

V2 = 10,000

V = \(\sqrt{10000}\)

V = 100ms-1
