Bullet – DivX Version (Normal Quality), iPod/iPhone Version
|
IMDB rating: 5.90 Plot: Butch “Bullet” Stein is a Jewish junkie from the mean streets of Brooklyn, is paroled after eight years in prison. Butch rips off a runner for local drug dealer, Tank, and is soon right back into his old habits of snorting coke and shooting up heroin with his best friend Lester. Enraged by Butch’s affront and already determined to get revenge on him for a past wrong, Tank sets about getting even with his old enemy by hiring a hulking brute, Gates to beat Butch. When the confrontation occurs, however, Gates breaks his hand on the battle-hardened Butch. Besides Lester, the only people in Butch’s corner are his two brothers, the mentally-unhinged Vietnam War veteran Louis and aspiring artist Ruby, neither of whom can be counted on to help him in the inevitable showdown. |

How would i go about calculating the resistance force on a bullet travelling through wood?
I need to find out whether a bullet traveling at a certain speed and of a certain mass could pass through a tree.
I know the kinetic energy of the bullet, and am assuming the shape of the bullet to be a sphere.
I’m thinking if i can have a rough idea of the resistance force on the bullet in the wood, i can calculate how far it could travel… Though that could be wrong
Thanks
Since this would be very difficult to do in an experiment because the bullet will deform and expand in the tree (and surely stop), the best you can hope for in an experiment is to check the depth of penetration and compare that with the initial momentum of the bullet to find the rate it decelerates.
If you can find the resistance the tree puts on the bullet attempting to pass through it, and assume the bullet stays the same shape and the tree is of constant density, then you can calculate VERY ROUGHLY the distance it could travel through a tree.
