Use the formula for displacement (S) which is S = vot + (1/2)at2 

where S - displacement; vo - initial velocity; t - time; a - acceleration due to gravity

Since the bullet initially at rest, the initial velocity is 0. So,

1.6 m = 0(t) + (1/2)(9.8 m/s2)(t2)

1.6 = 4.9t2

t2 = 1.6/4.9

t = 0.571 sec

 

To get the speed, use formula 

Distance = Speed x Time

where the distance is 1.9 m and time is 0.571 sec

1.9 m = Speed x 0.571 sec

Speed = 1.9 m / 0.571 sec

Speed = 3.327 m/s
