I'm not getting this. Please explain me in detail.

They haven't mentioned the time.

Then how did you guys calculate the projectile motion? Please explain me.

@Tamil Nayagam,

1960/600 = 3.266.
We can take 3.3.

What is a projectile of motion?

Convert velocity in horizontal direction, Ux into m/s:
Ux = 600x1000/3600 = 500/3 m/s.
Velocity of the bomb during the flight is constant due to inertia. Therefore,
Initial velocity in vertical direction, Uy = 0,
Height = 1960 m.

Step 2: Find time 't' using the equation [s = ut + 1/2at^2]
Replace distance 's' by height 'h' and acceleration 'a' by gravity 'g'
h = 1/2gt^2
t = √(2h)/g = √(2x 1960/9.8) = 20 sec.

Step 3: Find the distance traversed by the bomb in horizontal direction:
Distance AB = vx t = 500/3 x 20 = 10/3 x 10^3m = 3.333 km.

Because it does not deal with height in the equation.

Why isn't the time 20secs when we use the formula: V=U+at?

First. We will change m/s.
Then 600 * 1000/3600 = 166.666m/s.
Next. H=1/2at^2.so 1960=1/2*9.8*t^2.
Then t=20s.
Finally, Use H=ut equation.then H=166.66 * 20.
So 3333.333metres.
So answer 3.33km.
