Chapter 12, Problem 12-33(choose chapter or problem)
At t = 0 bullet A is fired vertically with an initial (muzzle) velocity of 450 m/s. When t = 3 s, bullet B is fired upward with a muzzle velocity of 600 m/s. Determine the lime t, after A is fired, as to when bullet B passes bullet A. At what altitude does this occur?

QUESTION:
At t = 0 bullet A is fired vertically with an initial (muzzle) velocity of 450 m/s. When t = 3 s, bullet B is fired upward with a muzzle velocity of 600 m/s. Determine the lime t, after A is fired, as to when bullet B passes bullet A. At what altitude does this occur?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
From Newton's laws of motion, we know that:
is the initial velocity of the bullet,
is the displacement of the bullet,
And acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity, so .
For bullet : Initial velocity of bullet and is given as ,
