Answer:
a) Kinetic energies
K₁ = 1.2 J
K₂ = 7.5 J
b) The bullet that has the highest kinetic energy is the one with the highest speed , v = 50 m/s , K₂ = 7.5 J
c) K₂ -K₁ = 6.3 J
Step-by-step explanation:
The kinetic energy (K) is that due to the movement of a body and is calculated as follows:
K = (1/2) m*v² (J)
Where :
m : the mass of the body ( kg)
v is the speed of the body (m/s)
Data
m₁ = m₂ = 0.006 Kg
v₁ = 20 m/s
v₂ = 50 m/s
a)Calculation of the kinetic energy
K₁ = (1/2) (m₁)*(v₁)²
K₁ = (1/2) (0.006)*(20)²
K₁ = 1.2 J
K₂= (1/2) (m₂)*(v₂)²
K₂ = (1/2) (0.006)*(50)²
K₂ = 7.5 J
b) K₂ ˃ K₁
The bullet that has the highest kinetic energy is the one with the highest speed , v = 50 m/s, K₂ = 7.5 J
c) Difference of their kinetic energies (K₂ -K₁)
K₂ -K₁ = 7.5 J - 1.2 J = 6,3 J
