number of bullets per second = 360/60 = 6
velocity = 600 m/s
mass = 5g = 0.005 kg
energy required for firing 1 bullet = 1/2 × 0.005 × 600^2 = 900J
For 6 bullets per sec, power = 900×6 J/s = 5400 W
velocity = 600 m/s
mass = 5g = 0.005 kg
energy required for firing 1 bullet = 1/2 × 0.005 × 600^2 = 900J
For 6 bullets per sec, power = 900×6 J/s = 5400 W

Machine gun fires 360 bullets in 1 minute
Number of bullets (n) it will fire in 1 second is 360/60 = 6
Kinetic energy of “n” bullets = 0.5 nmv²
= 0.5 × 6 × 5 × 10⁻³ kg × (600 m/s)²
= 5400 J
= 5.4 kJ
Power of machine gun = Kinetic energy of “n” bullets / Time
= 5.4 kJ / 1 s
= 5.4 kW
