1 A bullet of mass \(m \mathrm {~kg}\) is fired into a fixed vertical barrier. It enters the barrier horizontally with speed \(280 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and emerges horizontally after 0.01 s with speed \(30 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). There is a constant horizontal resisting force of magnitude 1500 N . Find \(m\).
