Question

A force of 3.5N is exerted on a 8.0-g rifle. What is the bullet's acceleration?

Answer 1

Given,

Force is F=3.5 N

The mass is m=8g=0.008 kg

To find

The acceleration

Step-by-step explanation

We know acceleration is force per unit mass

Thus,

`\begin{gathered} a=(F)/(m) \\ \Rightarrow a=(3.5)/(0.008)=437.5\text{ m/s}^2 \end{gathered}`

Conclusion

The bullets acceleration is

`(437.5m)/(s^2)`
