Using the second law of motion,derive the relation between force and acceleration. $A$ bullet of $10 \, g$ strikes a sandbag at a speed of $10^3 \, m \, s^{-1}$ and gets embedded after traveling $5 \, cm$. Calculate:
$(i)$ The resistive force exerted by the sand on the bullet.
$(ii)$ The time taken by the bullet to come to rest.

  • A
    $10^{2} \, N, 10^{-2} \, s$
  • B
    $10^{5} \, N, 10^{-4} \, s$
  • C
    $10^{6} \, N, 10^{-6} \, s$
  • D
    $10^{7} \, N, 10^{-7} \, s$
