Homework Statement
A weapon fired a 25.8-kg shell with a muzzle speed of 880 m/s. What averageforce acted on the shell?
Homework Equations
work energy theorem?
The Attempt at a Solution
Can someone please explain where the 6.00 comes from?
Starting from rest, the shell acquired a kinetic energy of (1/2)mv2
by a force, F,acting through a distance, d.Fd = (1/2)mv2
F(6.00) = (1/2)(25.8)(880)2
F = 1664960 N = 1.66 MN
