Question

A 5.00 g bullet traveling 355 m/s is stopped by lodging in the side of a building. The heat produced is shared between the building and the bullet. How much heat in Joules must be shared?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

mass of bullet
`m=5\ gm`

speed of bullet
`v=355\ m/s`

bullet is stopped by building and heat produced is shared between building and bullet

Kinetic Energy of bullet is converted into Thermal energy

Kinetic Energy of bullet
`K=(1)/(2)mv^2`

`K=0.5* 5* 10^(-3)* (355)^2`

`K=315.06\ J`

So 315.06 J of Energy is converted in to thermal energy
