QUESTION:
A bullet is fired on a wall with a velocity of 100 m/s .if the bullet stop at a depth of 10 cm inside the wall then find the retardation produce by the wall.
ANSWER:
Retardation = -50000 m/s²

Explanation:
given that,
A bullet is fired on a wall with a velocity of 100 m/s
so,
here ,
initial velocity of bullet = 100 m/s
also,
given that,
the bullet stop at a depth of 10 cm inside the wall
so,
final velocity = 0 [bullet stops]
distance travelled by the bullet = 10 cm
by changing it into m
= 10/100
= 0.1 m
so,
here we have ,
initial velocity(u) = 100 m/s
final velocity(v) = 0
distance travelled(s) = 0.1 m
so,
by the equation of motion
v² = u² + 2as
where a = acceleration of the object.
so,
putting the values
(0)² = (100)² + 2a(0.1)
0.2a + 10000 = 0
0.2a = -10000
a = -10000/0.2
a = -50000 m/s²
negation of acceleration shows the retardation or negative acceleration
so,
