A bomb is dropped from a helicopter hovering at an altitude of 900 feet above the ground. From the ground directly beneath the helicopter, a projectile is fired straight upward toward the bomb, exactly 1 seconds after the bomb is released. With what initial velocity should the projectile be fired in order to hit the bomb at an altitude of exactly 500 feet? Use g-32 ft/s².
