What is resistive force?
A bullet of mass 20 gm is shot from a gun with velocity 200ms^-1. The bullet stops after penetrating 6cm of a wood.
Determine resistive force of the bullet.​

Answer 1

In physics, resistive force is a force whose direction is opposite to the velocity of the body, or of the sum of the other forces, and may refer to friction and drag. The average resistance force is the change in momentum divided by the time required to stop the bullet. The distance covered under constant acceleration is 1/2 a* t^2.
