A 150-grain .30-06 bullet has a mass of 0.01 kg and a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s. If it takes 1 ms (millisecond) to travel down the barrel, what is the average force acting on the bullet?
Added by Cynthia T.
Step 1
The momentum of an object is given by the formula: momentum = mass x velocity. In this case, the mass of the bullet is 0.01 kg and the velocity is 900 m/s. Therefore, momentum = 0.01 kg x 900 m/s = 9 kg*m/s. Show more…
