You can think of the workkinetic energy theorem as a second theory of motion, parallel to Newtons laws in describing how outside influences affect the motion of an object. In this problem, solve parts (a), (b), and (c) separately from parts (d) and (e) so you can compare the predictions of the two theories.

(b) Use the workkinetic energy theorem to find the net work that is done on the bullet. (c) Use your result to part (b) to find the magnitude of the average net force that acted on the bullet while it was in the barrel. (d) Now model the bullet as a particle under constant acceleration. Find the constant acceleration of a bullet that starts from rest and gains a speed of 780 m/s over a distance of 72.0 cm.

Newtons third law tells us that the air exerts an equal and opposite force (upward) on the wings. The average of this force must be equal to the weight of the bird when it hovers. If the wings move through a distance of 3.5 cm with each stroke, and the wings beat 80 times per second, determine the work performed by the wings on the air in 1 m if the mass of the hummingbird is 3.0 g.arrow_forwardA block of mass m = 5.00 kg is released from point and slides on the frictionless track shown in Figure P8.3.
