A particular gun (10kg) is able to fire 20 gram bullets at a speed of 350 m/s. From this information, calculate roughly how much

energy contained in the powder in the bullet (Hint: you will need to calculate the recoil speed of the gun.) A. 2455 J B. 620 J C. Cannot be determined. D. 1230 J

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

Joy uses 20N of force to shovel the snow 10 meters. How much work does she do
Karolina [17]
Work, in physics, is said to be done when a certain force applied to an object would result to the movement of the object from one point to another. To calculate, we multiply the force with the displacement. We do as follows:

Work = 20 N (10 m) = 200 Nm or 200 J
