Penetration Estimate

With the current settings, the bullet is estimated to penetrate approximately 4 wall(s) and travel about 200 mm in total.

Physics Principles:

This simulation demonstrates basic physics principles of bullet penetration:

  1. Force: The force of impact is calculated as F = m·v²/(2·d), where m is mass, v is velocity, and d is diameter
  2. Resistance: The wall's resistance force opposes the bullet's motion, causing deceleration
  3. Deceleration: Calculated as (resistance · diameter) / mass
  4. Penetration: Occurs when the bullet's force exceeds the wall's resistance
  5. Multiple Walls: Each wall absorbs energy until the bullet stops or penetrates all walls

Key Relationship: Higher bullet force and lower wall resistance result in deeper penetration.
