Question 38





A -g bullet moving at m/s strikes the hand of a superhero, causing the hand to move cm in the direction of the bullet’s velocity before stopping. (a) Use work and energy considerations to find the average force that stops the bullet. (b) Assuming the force is constant, determine how much time elapses between the moment the bullet strikes the hand and the moment it stops moving vf = m/s .
