Answer:
(a) F = 239.575 N (b) t = 0.00649s or 6.49 ms
Explanation:
(a) By law of energy conservation, the bullet kinetic energy will be transferred to work done on stopping it from moving.
Formula for Kinetic Energy where m is bullet mass, v is the velocity
Formula for work where F is the average force and S is the distance travelled.
Substitute m = 4.2 g = 0.0042 kg, v = 370 m/s and S = 1.2 (m)
(b) If the force is constant, since the mass is constant and F = ma according to Newton's 2nd law, the acceleration on bullet is also constant
We also have
At the time the bullet is coming to rest,
Therefore,
