The machine gun fires 240 bullets per minute. If the mass of each bullet is \(10 \mathrm{~g}\) and the velocity of the bullets is \(600 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\), the power (in kW) of the gun is

  1. A 43200
  2. B 432
  3. C 72
  4. D 7.2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 7.2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work done by the gun \(=\) Total kinetic energy of the bullets \(\begin{aligned} & =n \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \\ & =240 \times \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 10^{-3}(600)^2 \\ & =120 \times 10 \times 10^{-3} \times 600 \times 600 \end{aligned}\)…
