Explanation:
<u>Linear Speed</u>
The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:
Where:
x = Distance traveled
t = Time needed to travel x
We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.
The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:
Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:
The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:
The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:
Thus the time is:
t = 0.0016 s
Thus the speed of the bullet is:
v = 381 m/s
