All wood can be penetrated to an extent. It depends on the thickness and mass of a given piece of wood that decides how far the bullet will penetrate or if it will exit out the other side

How far would a bullet penetrate in wood?

The penetration of a bullet in wood depends on several factors, including the type of bullet, its caliber, velocity, and the type of wood. Generally, a typical handgun bullet can penetrate wood to a depth of 12 to 24 inches, while a rifle bullet may penetrate even deeper, potentially exceeding 30 inches in softer woods. Denser hardwoods may reduce penetration depth compared to softer woods. Ultimately, specific conditions and variables will influence the exact penetration depth.

Can a bullet ricochet off of wood?

Yes, a bullet can ricochet off of wood, depending on factors like the bullet's velocity, type, and angle of impact, as well as the density and condition of the wood. Softer woods may absorb more energy and reduce the likelihood of a ricochet, while harder woods can cause bullets to deflect more readily. However, ricochets can still be unpredictable and dangerous, so caution should always be exercised when shooting near wooden surfaces.

How do you find an object's kinetic energy?

If you know the velocity and the mass, you can use the formula: KE = (1/2) x mass x velocity2. Otherwise, you have do deduce it from other facts. For example, if an object of a certain mass falls from a certain height, you can calculate that it started with a certain amount of potential energy, and assume that after it falls, all of the energy has been converted to kinetic energy. Another interesting technique that I've seen on TV is used, for example, to measure the kinetic energy of a bullet shot from a gun. In that case, they shot the bullet into a block of wood that was suspended from the ceiling by a string. After the bullet penetrated the wood and stuck inside it, the block swung some distance, like a pendulum. By photographing it from the side and measuring exactly how far it swung and how far it lifted, they were able to calculate the speed and kinetic energy of the bullet.
