A bullet initially moving with a velocity 20 m/s strikes a target and comes to rest after penetrating a distance of 10cm in the target. Calculate the retardation caused by the target.
Given:
Initial velocity, u = 20 m/s
Final velocity, v = 0 m/s and s = 10 cm = 0.1 m
We use the third equation of motion: v² = u² + 2as
=> 0= (20)² + 2 x a x 0.1
=> 400 = - 0.2a
=> a = -2000 m/s2
This is the acceleration of the bullet.
The retardation is the negative value of the acceleration.
Thus, the retardation of the bullet is 2000 m/s2
