A bullet of .05 kg is fired into a block of wood. Knowing that the bullet left the gun with a muzzle velocity of 350. m/s, and the bullet penetrates .15 m into the block of wood, determine:

We know, Impulse of a body is change in momentum.

Also, the final velocity of wood block is 0 m/s.

So, Impulse = Final Momentum - Initial Momentum

Impulse = 0 - ( 0.05 kg × 350 m/s )

Impulse = - 17.5 kg m/s

Therefore, the impulse exerted by the wood on the bullet is -17.5 kg m/s .

r=rho l/a where a is the area, l is the length and rho is resistivity so the greater the area the lesser the resistance thats why the earth pin is thicker bcos current follow the shortest path, so less resistive .

gets less
