A 0.05kg bullet travelling at 500ms
-1 horizontally strikes a thick vertical wall. It stops after penetrating through the wall horizontal distance of 0.25m. What is the magnitude of the average force the wall exerts on the bullet?
-
A.
25N
-
B.
50N
-
C.
250N
-
D.
500N
-
E.
25 000N
Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation
F = ma
= m\(\frac{(v^2 - u^2)}{2s}\)
F = 0.05\(\frac{(0 - (500)^2)}{2 \times 0.25}\)
F = 25 000N
