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]

500.0ms^-1

100.0ms^-1

70.0ms^-1

50.0ms^-1

Correct answer is 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
