Answer:
The velocity of the bullet is 380 m/s
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass of the 9 mm bullet fired = 0.007 kg
The measure of the momentum the bullet has = 2.66 kg·m/s
The equation for linear momentum is given as follows;
The linear momentum of an object = The mass of the object × The velocity of the object
∴ The velocity of the object = The linear momentum of an object/(The mass of the object)
The velocity of the bullet = The linear momentum of an bullet/(The mass of the bullet)
The velocity of the bullet = 2.66 kg·m/s/(0.007 kg) = 380 m/s
The velocity of the bullet = 380 m/s.
