The velocity of a bullet is reduced from 200 m / s to 100 m / s while travelling through a wooden block of thickness 10 cm . The retardation, assuming it to be uniform, will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
\(\nu \quad 200 \text{ m/s}, v \quad 100 \text{ m/s}, s \quad 0.1 \text{ m}\)
\(0 - \frac{v'^2 - v^2}{2s} = \frac{(200)^2 - (100)^2}{2 \times 0.1} = 15 \times 10^4 \, m/s^2\)
