A 7.80-g bullet moving at 480 m/s penetrates a tree trunk to a depth of 6.60 cm.

(a) Use work and energy considerations to find the average frictional force that stops the bullet.

(b) Assuming the frictional force is constant, determine how much time elapses between the moment the bullet enters the tree and the moment it stops moving.

A (physically, but not biologically, accurate) cartoon superhero stops a speeding bullet (mass 43.5 g and initial velocity 515 m/s) by catching it with his hand. Assume the bullet does not penetrate or break his hand in any way. Part A: During the catch, the hand moves backward a distance of 10.0cm while bringing the bullet to a stop. What is the average force the hand exerts on the bullet? Answer is in N Part B: How much time elapses...

A 60-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.620 m long. Assuming the origin is placed where the bullet begins to move, the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is 18000 + 10000x - 10000x2, where x is in meters. (a) Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.   kJ (b) How much work would be done if the barrel were...

1. A 150 g particle at x = 0 is moving at 2.00 m/s in the +x-direction. As it moves, it experiences a force given by Fx=(0.750N)sin(x/2.00m). Part A: What is the particles speed when it reaches x = 3.14 m? Express your answer with the appropriate units. 2. Hook's law describes an ideal spring. Many real springs are better described by the restoring force (FSp)s=−kΔs−q(Δs)3, where q is a constant. Consider a spring with k = 200 N/m and...
