Hi I am new to the forums and currently studying year 12 physics. I was wondering is it possible to calculate the Kinetic Energy lost from a projectile, say a bullet, after passing through an object, say a piece of steel. I know the weight of the bullet (41.9g) and it's initial KE (17,820J). I also know the density of the steel (7.85 g/cc) and its thickness (5mm).
Note please this isn't a homework question, it's just for my own curiosity and expansion of my own knowledge. Many thanks :)
