A bullet of mass a and velocity b is fired into a large block of mass c. The final velocity of the system is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Initially bullet moves with velocity b and after collision bullet get embedded in block and both move
together with common velocity.
By the conservation of momentum
⇒ ⇒ a × × b + 0 = (a + c) V ⇒ ⇒
