Problem 5. A bullet leaves a rifle with a velocity of 452 m/s. While accelerating through the barrel of the rifle, the bullet moves a distance of 0.93 m. Determine the acceleration of the bullet.

1.1 x 10⁵m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity  = 452m/s

distance  = 0.93m

Unknown:

Acceleration of the bullet  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the kinematics equation which is given below:

           V² = U²  + 2aS

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

a is the unknown acceleration

S is the distance traveled  

 So;

          452²   = 0²  + (2 x a x 0.93)

          204304  = 1.86a

               a  = 1.1 x 10⁵m/s²

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
