Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1.44 kW

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The number of bullets fired per second is \(n = \dfrac{120}{60} = 2\) bullets per second. The mass of each bullet is \(m = 100 \text{ g} = 0.1 \text{ kg}\). The velocity of each bullet is \(v = 120 \text{ ms}^{-1}\). The kinetic energy of one bullet is…
