A 20.0 gram ( better make it .0200 kg) bullet is fired horizontally at a slab of wood that is 3.00 cm (better make it 0.0300 m) thick. The bullet hed an initial velocity of 300 m/s. The bullet exits the other side of the wood with a velocity of 280 m/s. What is the change in kinetic energy of the bullet in this process? How much work is done on the bullet by the wood?what is the average acceleration of the bullet while traversing the slab of wood? what is the average force of thewood on the bullet?
