Question

A bullet hits a wall with a velocity of 20 metres per second and penetrates a distance of 5 cm find the deacceleration in bullet by the wall

Open in App
Solution

U= 20 m/s
v= 0
s = 5 cm = 0.05 m

from 3rd equation,
v² -u² = 2as
⇒0 - (20)² = 2×0.05×a
⇒0.1 a = - 400
⇒a = - 4000 m/s²

deceleration will be - 4000 m/s²
