A bullet weighing 10 gm moves with a velocity of l km/sec. Its kinetic energy is (i) 5000 Nm (ii) 5000 kg.m (iii) 5000 J A. Only (ii) B. Both (i) and (iii) C. Both (ii) and (iii) D. All (i), (ii) and (iii)

Only (ii)
Both (i) and (iii)
Both (ii) and (iii)
All (i), (ii) and (iii)

The correct answer is: B. Both (i) and (iii).

The kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where $m$ is the mass of the object and $v$ is its velocity.

In this case, the mass of the bullet is 10 g = 0.01 kg and the velocity is 1 km/s = 1000 m/s. Substituting these values into the formula gives:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(0.01 \text{ kg})(1000 \text{ m/s})^2 = 5000 \text{ J}$

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the bullet is 5000 J.

The units of kinetic energy are joules (J). 1 J is equal to 1 kg m$^2$/s$^2$. Therefore, options (i) and (iii) are correct. Option (ii) is incorrect because the units are not joules.
