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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bullet [tex]m=5\ gm[/tex]

speed of bullet [tex]v=355\ m/s[/tex]

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 [tex]K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

[tex]K=0.5\times 5\times 10^{-3}\times (355)^2[/tex]

[tex]K=315.06\ J[/tex]

So 315.06 J of Energy is converted in to thermal energy
