Answer: .4 m/s^2= acceleration
Explanation:
f = m*a
We can rearrange this equation to solve for acceleration. Therefore,
a=f/m
a= 28N/70kg
a= 0.4 m/s^2
The "penetration of the bullet" is 5 m
<u>Explanation</u>:
A "bullet" with "kinetic energy" of = 400J
A resistive force stops the bullet = 8.00 x 10 N
Work = change in energy
Work = ∆ Kinetic Energy (equation 1)
Work =
(equation 2)
From equations 1 and 2 we have,
= ∆ Kinetic Energy
Where
,
Kinetic Energy = 400 J
F = 8.00 x 10 N
(8.00 x 10 N) d = 400 J
(80 N) d = 400 J

d = 5 m
The penetration of the bullet is 5 m
