Question
An antique rifle fires 9 mm bullets such that as they travel down the barrel of the rifle their speed is given by
v = (−5.45 ✕ 107)t2 + (2.20 ✕ 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/s2) 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 t = 0 is zero.)
 
a(t)= ? m/s2
 
x(t)=? m
 
(b) Determine the length of time the bullet is accelerated (in s).
 
= ? s
 
(c) 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)?
 
= ? m
