Question
A bullet is fired through a board 18.0 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 420 m/s and it emerges from the other side of the board with a speed of 320 m/s. find
(a) the acceleration of the bullet as it passes through the board and (b) the total time the bullet is in contact with the board.

d=18cm=0.18m thickness of board
vi=420m/s speed before entering the board
vf=320m/s speed when leaving the board
vf²=vi²+2×a×d
Acceleration a=(vf²-vi²)/2/d
a=-205.5m/s².
As expected, a is negative because the bullet is decelerated.
vf=vi+a×t
t=(vf-vi)/a=(320-420)/(-205.5)= 100/205.5=0.486s
t=0.486s=486ms
