A bullet weighing 9g flies out of the rifle barrel at a speed of 800m / s. What is its kinetic energy?
July 1, 2021 | education
| Kinetic energy is the energy of body movement. It depends on body weight and speed. You can find the value of kinetic energy using the formula:
Ek = m * v ^ 2/2, where
m is body weight.
v is the speed of the body.
In the condition of the problem, all the necessary values for its solution are given.
Let’s substitute the values into the formula:
Ek = 0.009 kg * 800 ^ 2 m / s / 2 = 0.009 kg * 640,000 m ^ 2 / s ^ 2/2 = 5760 kg m ^ 2 / s ^ 2 = 5760 J
The unit of measurement of kinetic energy is joule, therefore, before the decision, the value of grams was converted to kilograms.
Answer: 5760 J.
