A 0.05kg bullet travelling at 500ms-1 horizontally strikes a thick vertical wall. It stops after penetrating through the wall horizontal distance of 0.25m. What is the magnitude of the average force the wall exerts on the bullet?
Answer Details
F = ma

= m ( v 2 − u 2 ) 2 s

F = 0.05 ( 0 − ( 500 ) 2 ) 2 × 0.25

F = 25 000N
