A \(30\,\text{g}\) bullet is fired with a speed of \(500\,\text{m/s}\) into a wall.(a) If the acceleration of the bullet is constant and it penetrates \(12\,\text{cm}\) into the wall, calculate the force on the bullet while it is stopping. , (b) If the deceleration of the bullet is constant and it penetrates \(12\,\text{cm}\) into the wall, how much time is required for the bullet to stop? :

\(\boxed{F \approx -31250 \, \text{N}}\) \(\boxed{t \approx 0.00048 \, \text{s}}\)
