Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 1) i.e. Kinetic energy.
CONCEPT:
- Kinetic energy: The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion is called the kinetic energy of the body.
- A body that possesses kinetic energy can do work on some other body.
The kinetic energy of a body of mass "m" moving with a velocity "v" is given as:
\(K.E. = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\)
EXPLANATION:
- A bullet fired from a gun possesses very high kinetic energy because of its high velocity.
- This kinetic energy of the bullet does work on the object that it hits or strikes.
- Therefore, the bullet pierces its target because of the high kinetic energy possessed by virtue of its motion.
Additional Information
- Potential energy: The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or configuration is called the potential energy of the body.
- Heat energy: The energy possessed by a body as a result of the movement of its molecules.
- Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time is called its acceleration.
