A 41 g bullet moving a horizontal velocity of 380 m/s comes to a stop 14 cm within a solid wall. (a) What is the change in the bullet's mechanical energy? (b) What is the magnitude of the average force from the wall stopping it?
a)
here
delta E = delta K = - 0.5 * m * v0^2
delta E =- 0.5 * 0.041 * 380^2
delta E = 2.96 * 10^3 J
b)
then force = delta E / d
F = 2.96 * 10^3 / 0.14
F = 2.1 * 10^4 N

A 3.90 g bullet moving at 300 m/s enters and stops in an initially stationary 2.80 kg wooden block on a horizontal frictionless surface. What's the speed of the bullet/ block combination? What fraction of the bullet's kinetic energy was lost in this perfectly inelastic collision? How much work was done in stopping the bullet? If the bullet penetrated 5.00 cm into the wood, what was the average stopping force?
A 5.00-g lead bullet moving at 400 m/s penetrates a wood block and comes to rest inside the block. If half of its kinetic energy goes into heating the bullet, what is the bullet's change in temperature? The specific heat of lead is 128 J/ (kg*K).
A 0.06-kg lead bullet traveling 151 m/s strikes an armor plate and comes to a stop. If all of the bullet's energy is converted to heat that it alone absorbs, what is its temperature change?
A 0.07-kg lead bullet traveling 170 m/s strikes an armor plate and comes to a stop. If all of the bullet's energy is converted to heat that it alone absorbs, what is its temperature change?
A 13.0 g bullet is moving to the right with speed 250 m/s when it hits a target and travels an additional 25.0 cm into the target. What are the magnitude (in N) and direction of the stopping force acting on the bullet? Assume the stopping force is constant. magnitude N?
A 0.045 kg aluminum bullet traveling at 471 m/s strikes an armor plate and comes to a stop. If all its energy is converted to heat that is absorbed by the bullet, what is the bullet's temperature change in degrees Celsius?
A 0.047 kg aluminum bullet traveling at 459 m/s strikes an armor plate and comes to a stop. If all its energy is converted to heat that is absorbed by the bullet, what is the bullet's temperature change in degrees Celsius?
A 5.00-g bullet moving with an initial speed of 450 m/s passes through a 1.00-kg block, as shown in the figure. The block is initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is connected to a spring that has a spring-force constant of 900 N/m. The block moves a distance d = 3.34 cm to the right after the collision. Note that the block only starts moving after the bullet has completely passed through the block. IWW d Round...
A 10 gram bullet is fired with an initial velocity of 550 m/s and collides with a stationary wooden block, penetrating a distance of 23 cm. Assuming the force which brings the bullet to a stop is constant, what is the average power dissipated in stopping the bullet? 4.
A 7.80 g bullet is initially moving at 540 m/s just before it penetrates a block of wood to a depth of 6.60 cm. (a) What is the magnitude of the average frictional force (in N) that is exerted on the bullet while it is moving through the block of wood? Use work and energy considerations to obtain your answer. (b) Assuming the frictional force is constant, how much time (in s) elapses between the moment the bullet enters the...
