To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Calculate the Kinetic Energy of the Bullet The kinetic energy (KE) of the bullet can be calculated using the formula: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] Assuming the mass \( m \) of the bullet is 1 kg (as the specific heat is given per kg), and the velocity \( v \) is 400 m/s, we have: ...
