A bullet of mass 15 g has a speed of 400 m/s. What is its kinetic energy ?

Kinetic energy K.E. = 1/2mv²

= 1/2 * 15/1000 * (400)²

= 1200 J Ans.

The bullet strikes a thick target and is brought to rest in 2 cm, calculate the average net force acting on the bullet.

Work done = Change in K.E.

Final velocity = 0

∵ Change in KE = Kf - Ki = 1200 J

∴ F * d = 1200

(Here, F is the average force)

F = 1200 / 2*10^-2

= 6 * 10^4 N Ans.

What happens to kinetic energy originally in the bullet?

Ans.) The kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.

Hi Abhi !!

Mass = m = 15 g = 0.015 kg                                 [ 1kg = 1000 g ]

Velocity = v = 400 m/s

K.E = 1/2 mv²
      = 1/2 × 0.015 × 400 × 400  = 1200 Joules

Work done = K.E
W = 1200 J

W = F × s

s = 2 cm = 0.02 m

1200 = 0.02 F

F = 1200 / 0.02

F = 60000 N ==> Answer

The energy gets converted to Heat Energy .

Hope this helps you :)
