A 22.1g bullet moving at 324m/s strikes a tree and embeds itself 0.184m into the trunk. What is the magnitude of the net force on the bullet while it is being stopped by the tree?
Added by Matthew F.
Step 1
The mass of the bullet is given as 22.1 g. To convert to kilograms, use the conversion factor \(1 \text{ kg} = 1000 \text{ g}\). \[ \text{Mass} = \frac{22.1 \text{ g}}{1000} = 0.0221 \text{ kg} \] Show more…

A bullet of mass 8.48 g that is moving at a speed of 438 m/s embeds itself into a tree, penetrating 22.3 cm into the wood. What is the magnitude of the average force, in N, exerted by the tree on the bullet?

A 22-caliber rifle bullet traveling at 350 m/s strikes a large tree and penetrates it to a depth of 0.130 m. The mass of the bullet is 1.80 g. Assuming a constant retarding force, what force in newtons does the tree exert on the bullet?

A bullet mass 4g is fired into a tree at 340 m/s. If the tree stops the bullet and the bullet embeds 38 cm into the tree, find (a) Energy Lost to the mechanical system (b) The force from the tree that brought the bullet to rest.
