Height of bullet at top of trajectory

[calnpals]

Ok guys, I'm stuck on this question I was wondering if you could help me out.

Its actually in 2 parts (2nd part harder than 1st part).

1st part: At what height will a bullet reach if fired at 1000mph straight up (excluding all other forces except gravity)

2nd part: At what angle would a bullet that is shot at 1000mph have to be shot at to have a speed of 100mph at the height of its trajectory, and what height would it reach?

Thanks

It would be better if you showed some of your work.
Anyway, for the first part you just need a basic kinimatics equation
( V^2 = Vo^2 + 2ax) or you could use energy.
And for the second part, at the height of the trajectory the only speed is along the x-axis and the speed along that axis is the same throughout the whole trip. Does that make it any easier?

How do you start ? What formula's will you use and more importantly why ?
