tree 200 m away at the same height...? You are sitting in a tree and spot an apple in another tree 200 m away at the same height of 10 m above ground level. You take your rifle, aim directly at the apple and fire a bullet at a speed of 760 m/s. As the bullet leaves the rifle, the apple falls from the tree. How far does the apple fall before the bullet strikes it? (Ignore air resistance.)

I don't just need the answer, I need to really understand it. Im pretty sure I need to use the momentum principle but Im not exactly sure how. Please help!!!!
