cm. How much will be the average resistances offered by the wall?
19. Raghu while driving to school computes the average speed for his trip to be 10km/h on his
return trip along the same route, there is less traffic and the average speed is 20km/h. what is
the average speed for Raghu’s trip.
20. What is the acceleration produced by a force of 12 newton exerted on an object of mass 3 kg?
21. If an object is not moving, does it mean that no force is acting on it?

(i) The acceleration
(ii) The distance covered by the car in that time.
23. A bullet of mass 10 g travelling horizontally with a velocity of 150 m s–1 strikes a stationary
wooden block and comes to rest in 0.03 s. Calculate the distance of penetration of the bullet
