a bullet of mass 10g travels horizontally with a velocity of 100m/s. find out the energy of the bullet?
Answers
Answer:
50j
Explanation:
Ek - 1/2MV^2
1/2*1/100*10000
=50j
Answer:
Explanation:Using First Equation of Motion:
v=u + gt (g denotes acceleration due to gravity where g = 10m/s^2)
>100= 0+ 10t [initial velocity(u)=0
final velocity(v)=100m/s]
>100=10t
>t = 10 sec
Now,
By third equation of motion,
v^2 - u^2 =2gs [s is the displacement and g is the acceleration due to gravity]
On putting the values of v and u in the equation,
>(100)^2 - (0)^2= 2x10xs
>10000 - 0 = 20s
>10000=20s
>s = 500m
So,
Force = mass x acceleration
= m x g
=0.01 x10 [10 grams = 0.01 kg]
F =0.1 Newton or kg m/s^2
Now,
Energy = Force X Displacement
= F x s
=0.1 x 500
=50 Joule
Therefore, the energy of the bullet is 50 joule.
Hope it helps :)
