Answer 1

To calculate the momentum of the bullet, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Momentum} (p) = \text{mass} (m) \times \text{velocity} (v) \]

Given:

• Mass of the bullet (m) = 0.015 kg
• Velocity of the bullet (v) = 280 m/s

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[ p = 0.015 , \text{kg} \times 280 , \text{m/s} = 4.2 , \text{kg m/s} \]

Thus, the momentum of the bullet is 4.2 kg m/s.
