Question
A bullet is fired through a board 5.0 cm thick in such a way that the bullet's line of motion is perpendicular to the face of the board. The initial speed of the bullet is 450 m/s and it emerges from the other side of the board with a speed of 350 m/s.
(a) Find the acceleration of the bullet as it passes through the board.
(b) Find the total time the bullet is in contact with the board.

- A spacecraft on its way to Mars has small rocket engines mounted on its hull; one on its left surface and one on its back surface. At a certain time, both engines turn on. The one on the left gives the spacecraft an acceleration component in the x direction of ax = 5.10 m/s², while the one on the back gives an acceleration component in the y direction of a = 7.30 m/s2. The engines turn off after firing for 670 s, at which point the spacecraft has velocity components of vx = 3515 m/s and vy = 4136 m/s. What was the magnitude and the direction of the spacecraft's initial velocity before the engines were turned on?

The freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in the same direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes, causing a constant acceleration of 0.100 m/s2 in a direction opposite to the train’s velocity, while the freight train continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the location of the front of the passenger train when the engineer applies the brakes. (a) If t = 0 is the instant when the engineer applies the brakes, at what later time will there be a collision? (b) Where will the collision take place?
