Kinetic Energy?

Name: Anonymous 2008-02-04 21:05

Hey /sci/, i need help with this.

A uranium projectile fired from a tank in Iraq has a volume of 364.40 cm3 and an intital kinetic energy of
2.03 x 103 kJ. Given the density of uranium is 18.95 g/cm3, what is the muzzle velocity of the tank's gun (m/s)?

what? you can't figure this out? given that mass is m, the density is p, and volume is V, and kinetic energy is K, the velocity is sqrt(2k/m)=sqrt(2k/(pV)). anyone could figure this out-careful with units be kJ=1000kg m^2/s^2

I'm not sure. Is it 24.25 or something?

Don't change these.
