A bullet of mass m = 10 g and velocity 300 m/s is shot into a block
Question:
A bullet of mass m = 10 g and velocity 300 m/s is shot into a block of wood that is firmly attached to the ground. The bullet comes to rest in the wood at a depth of 8.1 cm.
(a) What was the acceleration of the bullet?
(b) How long did it take the bullet to come to rest once it entered the wood?
(c) What was the force exerted by the wood on the bullet?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
