A bullet is fired normally on an immovable wooden plank of thickness 2 m. It loses 20% of its kinetic energy in penetrating a thickness 0.2 m of the plank. The distance penetrated by the bullet inside the wooden plank is (a) 0.2 m (b) 0.8 m (c) 1 m (d) 1.5 m

Answer»

(c) 1 m 

The wood offers a constant retardation. If the bullet loses 20% of its kinetic energy by penetrating 0.2m. it can penetrate further into 4 × 0.2 = 0.8 m with the remaining kinetic energy. So the total distance penetrated by the bullet is 0.2 + 0.8 = 1 m.
