Question: After a tornado, a 12.9 g stick was found embedded 12.0 cm into the trunk of a tree. The average force exerted on the stick

After a tornado, a 12.9 g stick was found embedded 12.0 cm into the trunk of a tree. The average force exerted on the stick by the tree, causing it to stop, was 264 N. What is the mass of the stick and the distance the stick is embedded in the tree in proper mks units? What is the angle between the displacement of the stick into the tree and the force acting on the stick to stop it? What are the distance the stick was embedded into the tree and the final velocity of the stick?
