Question

A force of 1.4 N is exerted on a 6.6 g rifle bullet. What is the bullet's acceleration?

Answer 1

The acceleration of the bullet is 212.12 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Force = 1.4 N

Mass = 6.6 g

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using newton's second law

`F=ma`

`a=(F)/(m)`

Where, F = force

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

`a=(1.4 )/(6.6*10^(-3))`

`a=212.12\ m/s^2`

Hence, The acceleration of the bullet is 212.12 m/s²
