Answer :
The velocity of the 73 Kg man needed for him to have the same kinetic energy as the 8.0 g bullet fired at 430 m/s is 4.5 m/s
How do I determine the velocity of the man?
First, we shall obtain the kinetic energy of the bullet. This can be obtained as follow:
- Mass (m) = 8 g = 8 / 1000 = 0.008 Kg
- Velocity (v) = 430 m/s
- Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 0.008 × 430²
KE = 739.6 J
Finally, we shall determine the velocity of the 73 Kg man. Details below:
- Mass of man (m) = 73 Kg
- Kinetic energy (KE) = 739.6 J
- Velocity of man (v) = ?
KE = ½mv²
739.6 = ½ × 73 × v²
739.6 = 36.5 × v²
Divide both side by 36.5
v² = 739.6 / 36.5
Take the square root of both side
v = √(739.6 / 36.5)
v = 4.5 m/s
Thus, the velocity man is 4.5 m/s
