To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.
By definition we know that the position of a body is given by
Where
Initial position
Initial velocity
a = Acceleration
t= time
And the velocity can be expressed as,
Where,
For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then
With our values we have , rearranging to find a,
Therefore the final velocity would be
Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s
Answer:
215955.06 m/s^2
Explanation:
length of barrel, s = 0.89 m
initial velocity of the bullet, u = 0 m/s
Final velocity of the bullet, v = 620 m/s
Let a be the acceleration of the bullet in the barrel
Use third equation of motion, we get
a = 215955.06 m/s^2
Thus, the acceleration of the bullet inside the barrel is 215955.06 m/s^2.
