Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

The velocity of a bullet is reduced from $200\,m/s$ to $100\,m/s $ while travelling through a wooden block of thickness $10\,cm$. Assuming it to be uniform, the retardation will be 

A

$10 \times {10^4}$ $m/s^2$

B

$12 \times {10^4}$ $m/s^2$

C

$13.5 \times {10^4}$ $m/s^2$

D

$15 \times {10^4}$ $m/s^2$
The velocity of a bullet is reduced from $200\,m/s$ to $100\,m/s $ while travelling through a wooden block of thickness $10\,cm$. Assuming it to be uniform, the retardation will be 
$u = 200\;m/s,\;v = 100\;m/s,\;s = 0.1\;m$
$a = \frac{{{u^2} - {v^2}}}{{2s}} = \frac{{{{(200)}^2} - {{(100)}^2}}}{{2 \times 0.1}} = 15 \times {10^4}\,m/{s^2}$
