Question

SITUATION \#6: A bullet has a mass of 40 grains ( 2.60 g ) and a muzzle velocity of 1100 \( \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}(335 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}) \). It can penetrate eight 1-inch pine boards, each with thickness 0.75 inches. What is the average stopping force exerted by the wood, as shown? Ans. 957.30 N (a) Bullet strikes boards (b) Boards stop bullet
