You can put this solution on YOUR website! A bullet from a high speed military machine gun travels at 108000 km/h, assuming that the bullet does not slow down, find the time in seconds that it takes to travel 3 km.
-----------------
Hint: 108000 km/hr = 1800km/min = 30 km/second
PS They don't go that fast. That's more than twice Earth's escape velocity.
5000 ft/sec, or ~ 1.6 km/sec is typical for large bore rounds.
