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 |
