A machine gun fires 60 bullets per minute with a velocity of `700ms^(-1)`. If each bullet has a mass of 50g, find the power of the gun.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the power of the machine gun, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total mass of bullets fired per minute The mass of each bullet is given as 50 grams. Since the gun fires 60 bullets per minute, we can calculate the total mass of bullets fired in one minute. \[ \text{Total mass} = \text{mass of one bullet} \times \text{number of bullets} \] ...
