Question
A muzzle-loading rifle fires 22LR bullets such that as they travel down the barrel of
the rifle their speed is given by
v = (-4.50 x 1o7)t² + (2.75 x 105)t,
where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The acceleration of the bullet just
as it leaves the barrel is zero.
(a) Determine the acceleration (in m/s³) and position (in m) of the bullet as a
function of time when the bullet is in the barrel. (Use the following as necessary:
t. Round all numerical coefficients to at least three significant figures. Do not
include units in your answers. Assume that the position of the bullet at : - o is
zero.)
a(t) =
m/s2
x(t) =
(b) Determine the length of time the bullet is accelerated (in s).
(e) Find the speed at which the bullet leaves the barrel (in m/s).
m/s
(d) What is the length of the barrel (in m)?
