To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Initial velocity of the bullet (u) = 250 m/s - Final velocity of the bullet (v) = 0 m/s (since it comes to rest) - Distance penetrated into the tree (s) = 5 cm = 0.05 m - Mass of the bullet (m) = 10 g = 0.01 kg (since 1 g = 0.001 kg) ...
