Question

A bullet is moving at a speed of 367 m/s when it embeds into a lump of moist clay. The bullet penetrates for a distance of 0.0621 m. Determine the acceleration of the bullet while moving into the clay. (assume a uniform acceleration.)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

v^2 - u^2 =2aS

-367×367 = 2a(0.0621)

a = - 1084452.5 m/sec^2
