What average force does the bullet exert on the target

Reference no: EM13256116

In a ballistics test, a 25.0g bullet traveling horizontally at 1200m/s goes through a 40.0cm -thick 350kg stationary target and emerges with a speed of 800m/s . The target is free to slide on a smooth horizontal surface.

1) How long is the bullet in the target?

2) What average force does the bullet exert on the target?

3) What is the target's speed just after the bullet emerges?
