A bullet mass 10 g traveling horizontally with a velocity of 150m^-1 strikes a stationary wooden block and come to rest in 0.03 s. Calculate the distance of penetrating of the bullet into the block. Also calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the wooden block on the bullet.

Answer:
Hence, the magnitude of the force exerted by the wooden block on the bullet is 50 N.
Explanation:
Initial velocity, u= 150 m/s
Final velocity, v= 0 (since the bullet finally comes to rest)
Time taken to come to rest, t= 0.03 s
According to the first equation of motion, v= u + at
Acceleration of the bullet, a
0 = 150 + (a — 0.03 s)a = -150 / 0.03 = -5000 m/s2
(Negative sign indicates that the velocity of the bullet is decreasing.)
According to the third equation of motion:
v2= u2+ 2as
0 = (150)2+ 2 (-5000)
= 22500 / 10000
= 2.25 m
Hence, the distance of penetration of the bullet into the block is 2.25 m.
From Newton’s second law of motion:
Force, F = Mass * Acceleration
Mass of the bullet, m = 10 g = 0.01 kg
Acceleration of the bullet, a = 5000 m/s2
F = ma = 0.01 * 5000 = 50 N
Hence, the magnitude of the force exerted by the wooden block on the bullet is 50 N.
