Given that mass of bullet, m = 9.50 g = 0.0095 kg
speed of bullet, v is 1.30 km/s
(a) Kinetic energy is given by the formula
[tex]K\mathrm{}E\text{. = }\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]Substituting the values in the above formula, we get
[tex]K\mathrm{}E\mathrm{}=\frac{1}{2}(0.0095)(1.30)^2=8.0275\times10^{-3}\text{ J}[/tex](b) Speed of bullet is v/2
Sustituting this value in the formula of kinetic energy, we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} K.E._1=\text{ }\frac{1}{2}m(\frac{v}{2})^2 \\ =\frac{1}{2}\times(0.0095)\times(\frac{1.30}{2})^2 \\ =2.0068\times10^{-3\text{ }}J \end{gathered}[/tex](c) Speed of bulllet becomes 2v
Sustituting this value in the formula of kinetic energy, we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} K.E._2=\text{ }\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2 \\ =\frac{1}{2}\times(0.0095)\times(2\times1.30)^2 \\ =0.03211J \end{gathered}[/tex]
