Ok, so here's my question:
A .22 rifle bullet, traveling at 350 m/s, strikes a block of soft wood, which it penetrates to a depth of 0.130 m. The block of wood is clamped in place and doesn't move. The mass of the bullet is 1.80 g. Assume a constant retarding force.
I know this has already been posted in another thread, but i have an additional question that i can't get.
1. How much time is required for the bullet to stop?
i tried 0.130m/350m/s and got .00037143 seconds as an answer. This was not correct. Any suggestions on what to do?
I already know that the wood exerts 848 N on the bullet
