Resistive force against a bullet
Reply to thread
Message
[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 6161681, member: 334404"] "Force of resistance" may be ambiguous. The plate resists being penetrated, so it might mean the average force exerted. Imagine the bullet had entered a smoothly curving tube, deflecting the bullet with no loss of speed. Would you conclude the tube had exerted no force on the bullet? (But I get a smaller answer too.) Edit: are you sure the bullet is initially moving horizontally? [/QUOTE]
