    Formulae for Kinetic energy is:

    Kinetic Energy = 1/2xmassx (velocity) ^2

    For comparison we need to have same units, thus we convert 10g into Kg.

    10g/1000=0.01Kg

    Input the value of bullet in the formulae;

    Kinetic Energy = 1/2x0.01kgx (400) ^2

    K. E=800J

    Input value of the ball:

    Kinetic Energy=1/2x80kgx (6.5) ^2

    K. E=1690J

    Which means that th Energy of the ball is more than the bullet.
