a) 5.6 m/s

First of all, we consider the vertical motion of the stone, which is a free fall motion (uniform accelerated motion). We can use the suvat equation :

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s = 200 m is the vertical displacement (here we chose downward as positive direction)

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the stone (since it is launched horizontally)

t is the time

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t, we find the time the stone takes to reach the ground:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(200)}{9.8}}=6.39 s$

Now we can consider the horizontal motion: this is a uniform motion with constant speed. The horizontal distance travelled is given by

d=v_x t

where

d = 36.0 m is the horizontal distance travelled by the stone

t = 6.39 s is the time of flight

If we solve for v_x , we find the speed at which the stone was launched (which remains constant during the whole motion):

$v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{36}{6.39}=5.6 m/s$

(b) 62.8 m/s at $84.9^{\circ}$ below the horizontal

- The motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, since there are no forces acting on the stone in this direction - so the horizontal velocity remains constant:

v_x = 5.6 m/s

- The vertical velocity instead changes due to the effect of the acceleration of gravity. We can calculate the vertical velocity at the time of impact by using the equation

v_y = u_y + gt

where

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the stone is launched horizontally)

Solving for t = 6.39 s, we find:

v_y = 0+(9.8)(6.39)=62.6 m/s

Keep in mind that the direction of this velocity is downward.

So now we can find the speed of the stone at the moment of impact:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{5.6^2+62.6^2}=62.8 m/s$

And the angle of impact, measured as below the horizontal (since the vertical velocity is downward) is

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{62.6}{5.6})=84.9^{\circ}$

no. bullets are macro objects. wave nature is for light waves, extremely tiny particles. if a light particle was the size of your finger, the bullet would be the size of the universe. so basically, that huge difference in size makes the wave nature of matter insignificant.
