A bullet fired at a wooden block of thickness 0.15m manages to penetrate the block. If the mass of the bullet is 0.025kg and the average resisting force of the wood is 7.5 x 103N, calculate the speed of the bullet just before it hits the wooden block.
A
450ms-1
B
400ms-1
C
300ms-1
D
250ms-1

Correct Option: C
F = ma
Therefore, a = (\frac{F}{m})
a = (\frac{7.5 \times 10^{3}}{0.025})
a = 3 x 105m/s2
using V2 = U2 + 2ax;
V2 = 02 + (2 x 3 x 105 x 0.15)
Therefore V = 300 m/s
