A rifle fires a 10-g bullet with a horizontal speed of 300 m/s . The bullet strikes a block of wood and the bullet penetrates to a depth of 12 cm into the wood before coming to a stop. 1. Draw the motion and force diagrams for the bullet while it is coming to a stop.  ignore the weight vector . 2. What resistive force (assumed to be constant) does the wood exert on the bullet? 3. How many seconds does it take the bullet to come to rest?
