1. | Which has the larger kinetic energy, a 10 g bullet fired at 500 m/s or a 75 kg student running at 5.5 m/s? 10.1. Model: We will use the particle model for the bullet (B) and the running student (S) Visualize: 5 kg Solve For the bullet, do 010 kg\(500 m/s) For the running student, mig ~4us g)S.5 mvs)" = 206 ‘Thus, the bullet has the larger kinetic energy. Assess: Kinetic energy depends not only on mass but also on the square of the velocity, The above calculation shows this dependence. Although the mass of the bullet is 7500 times smaller than the mass of the student, its speed is more than 90 times larger, 21. | aden places her 500 g phyrcs book ona fitoness (wie. she poster the book apsint a spring, compresing the ‘spring by 4.0 em, then releases the book.
