Earlier, we stated Newton's first law as “A body at rest remains at rest or, if in motion, remains in motion at constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.” It can also be stated as “Every body remains in its state of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces
For example-A stationary object with no outside force will not move. With no outside forces, a moving object will not stop. An astronaut who has their screwdriver knocked into space will see the screwdriver continue on at the same speed and direction forever.

Answer:
1196.02 °C
Explanation:
If the kinetic energy is converted into heat,
then,
Kinetic energy of the copper = heat energy of the copper
1/2m(v²) = cm(t₂-t₁)
where m = mass of copper, v = velocity of copper, c = specific heat capacity of copper, t₂ = final temperature of copper, t₁ = initial temperature of copper.
Since the mass of copper remains the same,
1/2v² = c(t₂-t₁)
make t₂ the subject of the equation
t₂ = 1/2(v²/c)+t₁..................... Equation 1
Given: v = 950 m/s, c = 387 J/kg°C, t₁ 30 °C
Substitute into equation 1
t₂ = 1/2(950²/387)+30
t₂ = 1196.02 °C
Hence the temperature the bullet reach before it was stopped = 1196.02 °C
Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.
For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.
Observation (the state of defining a problem):
The car is not started
Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):
The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.
Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):
You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.
Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis
You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.
Draw conclusion:
The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.
<em>Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.</em>
Hope it helps!
