A bullet of mass 5 g travels with a speed of 500 ms^(-1) .if it penetrates a fixed target which offers a constant resistive force of 1000 N to the motion of the bullet ,find ,(a) the intial Kinetic energy of the bullet penetrated before coming to rest,and (c)the speed with which the bullet emerges out of the target if target is of thickness 0.5 m.

A frequently used device to measure the speed of bullets is the ballistic pendulum. It comprises of a heavy block of wood of mass M suspended by two long chords. A bullet of mass m is fired into the block horizontally. The block, with the bullet embedded in it, swings upwards. The centre of mass of the combination rises through a vertical distance h before coming to rest momentarily. In a particular experiment, a bullet of mass 40 gm is fired into a wooden block of mass 10 kg. The block is observed to rise by a height of 20.0 cm. If the bullet penetrates the block to a depth of 3.0 cm, the approximate average force of resistance by the block of wood is
