The emerging velocity of the bullet is <u>71 m/s.</u>
The bullet of mass <em>m</em> moving with a velocity <em>u</em> has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed <em>v</em> when it emerges from the block.
If the block exerts a resistive force <em>F</em> on the bullet and the thickness of the block is <em>x</em> then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,
This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.
If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v<em>₁.</em>
Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,
Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v<em>₁.</em>
Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s

Explanation:
Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:
(1)
with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):
(2)
Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:
