A bullet of mass 0.02 kg strikes a metal plate of thickness 10 cm with a velocity of 400 m/s and emerge from it with a velocity of 250 m/s. Find the average resistance force offered by the plate to the motion of bullet.

Answer»

We know that,

v2 = u2 + 2as

a = \(\cfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\)

a = \(\cfrac{(250)^2-(400)^2}{2\times0.1}\)

a = \(\cfrac{62500-160000}{2\times0.1}\)

a = \(\cfrac{-97500}{0.2}\)

a = -487500 m/s2

F = ma 

F = 0.02 x - 487500

F = -9750 N
