Detailed Solution

A bullet of 20 g strikes sand bag at a speed of 200 m/s and gets embedded after travelling 2 cm, and then the resistive force exerted by the sand on the bullet is 2 × 104 N.
 Given, mass of bullet, = 20 g = 20 × 10-3 kg,
Distance travelled, = 2 cm = 0.02 m
Initial velocity, = 200 m/s, Final velocity, = 0 m/s
From the third equation of motion,
      v2=u2+2as
     a= (v2-u2)/2s=[02-2002]/(2×0.02) 
     a= -106m/s2
Resistive force = F=ma
F=20×10-3×-106
F=-2×104 N
(Negative sign shows resistance)
 The resistive force exerted by sand on the bullet is 2 × 104  N.
