Yes, it is possible to calculate the work done in firing the bolt. The work done can be determined using the formula:
Work = (1/2) * mass * velocity^2
Given:
Mass (m) = 65 g (converting grams to kilograms)
Velocity (v) = 75 m/s
First, let's convert the mass to kilograms:
Mass (m) = 65 g = 65/1000 kg = 0.065 kg
Now we can calculate the work:
Work = (1/2) * 0.065 kg * (75 m/s)^2
Simplifying this expression:
Work ≈ 182.81 Joules
Therefore, the work done in firing the bolt is approximately 182.81 Joules.
