A bullet of mass 0.0325 kg is fired toward board with a thickness of 0.0335 m. Its speed is 402 m/s before making contact with the board and it passes through the board. The average force exerted on the bullet by the board has a magnitude of 707 N.

What is the speed of the bullet, in m/s, after passing through the board? (The weight of the bullet is negligible relative to the force exerted by the board. Assume the force exerted by the board is constant.)

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Mass of the bullet = m = 0.0325 kg

Initial speed of the bullet = V1 = 402 m/s

Speed of the bullet after passing through the board = V2

Thickness of the board = L = 0.0335 m

Average force exerted on the bullet by the board = F = -707 N (Negative as it opposes the motion of the bullet)

Acceleration of the bullet while passing through the board = a

a = -21753.85 m/s2

V2 = 400.2 m/s

Speed of the bullet after passing through the board = 400.2 m/s
