Answer: B
Explanation:
The conventional units for Joules is defined with kilograms. We are given the mass of the bullet in grams. Using the conversion factor of 1kg = 1000g, we get that:
[tex]1g*\frac{1kg}{1000g} =1*10^-^3kg[/tex]
Kinetic energy is defined to be:
[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]
[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2} (10^-^3kg)(1000m/s)^2[/tex]
[tex]KE=500J=5*10^2J[/tex]
