1 A bullet of mass 0.2 kg is fired into a fixed vertical barrier. It enters the barrier horizontally with speed \(250 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and emerges horizontally after a time \(T\) seconds with speed \(40 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). There is a constant horizontal resisting force of magnitude 1200 N . Find \(T\).
