On April 8

CSI
episode. The “B-story” was about an idiot target shooting a 9mm
full-load shot at 1100 ft/sec (336 m/s) will penetrate 12".analysis leads them to determine that a 9mm bullet penetrating 4" is traveling at only 550 ft/sec (168 m/s), while ashot went high. A woman several blocks away was killed when the wayward bullet penetrated 4". Forensicautomatic pistol in his backyard. He was “distracted” when the neighbor next door yelled at him to stop – and one
“How far does a 9mm bullet have to travel to slow
down from 1100 ft/sec to 550 ft/sec?” “1800 feet.”
(a) Find the constant acceleration
a
that will slow a
bullet from 336 m/s to 168 m/s in 1800 feet (549 meters).

fired horizontally. But it could have been fired at an angle.”

† In the “old days”, however, one used a ballistic pendulum – basically a block of wood hanging by a cable. (d) Modern electronics allow one to measure the muzzle speed of a bullet as it leaves the barrel of a gun.
Actually, the bullet would be slowed by the high-speed drag force, F = -cv², but you do not want to work this problem with a
variable, velocity dependent force. (grin)
