Question

How much pressure does a bullet exert if it has 2500 N of force and a surface area of .005m?

500 kpa

125 kpa

12.5 kpa

5kpa

which one? pls answer quick

Answer 1

500 kpa

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure exerted by a bullet can be calculated using the formula pressure = force/area. Plugging in the given values, we get:

pressure = 2500 N / 0.005 m^2 = 500,000 N/m^2

Since 1 kilopascal (kPa) = 1000 N/m^2, we can convert the pressure to kPa:

pressure = 500,000 N/m^2 ÷ 1000 = 500 kPa

So the answer is 500 kPa.
