    What force is exerted by the wood on the bullet?
    A bullet of mass 0.0019 kg moving at 498 m/s embeds itself in a large fixed piece of wood and travels 0.66 m before coming to rest. Assume that the deceleration of the bullet is constant.

    same as the force the bullet exerts on the bullet, use F = ma

    initial velocity =498
    final velocity =0
    distance=0.66
    so you can find acceleration
    using F=ma, you can find force
