Kinetic energy (initial) of the object = 1/2 × mv²

m = 100 g = 0.1 kg

v = 500 m/s

=> v² = 2,50,000

So, kinetic energy (initial) of the object = 1/2 × 0.1 × 2,50,000

= 12,500 Joules.


Now, since the bullet is to be stopped, its final velocity will become zero. Then, the kinetic energy will also be zero

=> kinetic energy (final) = 0


Now, work done = ∆K

=> Work done = kinetic energy (final) - kinetic energy (initial)

=> Work done = 0 - 12,500 Joules.

=> Work done = -(12,500)Joules.

The answer is in negative because the angle between the applied force and. object is 180°.


Answer :- -(12,500) Joules.
