AS level physics forces and motion question
A bullet is fired at an angle of 30° to the horizontal ground at a velocity of 200 ms-1.The bullet is in flight for a time t. Air resistance has a negligible effect on the motion of the bullet. What is the correct expression for the horizontal distance R travelled by the bullet?
A. R = 200 x cos30° x t
B. R = 200 x sin30° x t
C. R=((200 x cos30°)^2)/(2x9.81)
D. R=((200 x sin 30°)^2)/(2x 9.81)
The answer is A but I have no ideas on how to get it. Help me please!

Do you know how to find the distance travelled by a particle that is moving at constant velocity or constant speed in the same direction?
It is the same logic for this question.

This is gcse stuff. I recommend that you try to look back at your text.
S = ?
U = 200cos30
V= 200cos30
A = 0
T = t
U is the initial velocity. Now it’s at an angle and we want the horizontal component of the velocity so we do 200 COS 30 for horizontal. If you don’t know how i get this i would recommend going over projectile motion at an angle.
So now we’re looking for the horizontal distance traveled. We also know that the horizontal acceleration must be 0 because it has a uniform velocity (The velocity stays the same). Using this we can use
S = ut +1/2at^2
a is 0 so 1/2at^2 becomes 0 too so its
S = ut + 0
Plug in the values
S = 200cos30 x t
U = 200cos30
V= 200cos30
A = 0
T = t
