Question

bullet of mass 100 g travelling horizontally with a velocity of 50 m/s strikes a stationary wooden block and comes to rest in 0.25 s. Calculate the distance of penetration of the bullet into the block. Also calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the wooden block on the bullet.

(1 Point)​

Answer 1

Answer:

50N

Explanation:

Initial velocity of the bullet, u=150 ms

−1

Final velocity of the bullet, v=0

Mass of the bullet, m=10 g=0.01 kg

Time taken by the bullet to come to rest, t=0.03 s

Let distance of penetration be s

v=u+at

0=150+a(0.03)

⟹a=−5000 ms

−2

(- sign shows retardation)

v

2

=u

2

+2as

0=150

2

+2×(−5000)×s

s=2.25 m

Magnitude of the force exerted by the wooden block, ∣F∣=m∣a∣

∣F∣=0.01×5000=50 N
