A bullet fired into a fixed target loses half of its velocity after penetrating 3cm. How much further it will penetrate before coming to rest assuming that it faces constant resistance to motion?A. `1.0 cm`B. `1.5 cm`C. `2.0 cm`D. `3.0 cm` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A Using law of conservation of total energy Case `(i)` , `(1)/(2)m u^(2)=(1)/(2)m ((u)/(2))^(2)+Fxx3` or `(3)/(4)((1)/(2)m u^(2))=Fxx3` …(i) Case `(ii)` `(1)/(2)m u^(2)=FxxS` ....(ii) or `(3)/(4)=(3)/(S)` or`S=4 cm` `:.` Further distance travelled `=4-3=1cm` |
