Answer:
The answer is
D. 1230j
Explanation:
When a bullet is shot out of a gun the person firing experiences a backward impact, which is the recoil force, while the force propelling the bullet out of the gun is the propulsive force
given data
Mass of gun M=10kg
Mass of bullet m=20g----kg=20/1000 =0.02kg
Propulsive speed of bullet = 350m/s
Hence the moment of the bullet will be equal and opposite to that of the gun
mv=MV
where V is the recoil velocity which we are solving for
V=mv/M
V=0.02*350/10
V=7/10
V=0.7m/s
The energy contained in the bullet can be gotten using
KE=1/2m(v-V)²
KE=1/2*0.02(350-0.7)²
KE=1/2*0.02(349.3)²
KE=1/2*0.02*122010.49
KE=1/2*2440.20
KE=1220.1J
roughly the energy is 1230J
