Homework Statement
22.0-caliber rifle bullet of mass 1.80 g, traveling at 320 m/s strikes a block of soft wood, which it penetrates to a depth of 0.140 m. The block of wood is clamped in place and doesn't move. Assume a constant retarding force.
What force, in Newtons, does the wood exert on the bullet?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Long story short, acceleration is -365714.29 m/s^2Is it really as simple as .0018*-365714.29 = -658.29 N ? Or maybe 658.29 N since the force of the wood on the bullet is opposite of the bullet on the wood?
Since Fnet = ma
