    The average force necessary to stop a bullet of mass 20 g moving with a speed of 250 m/s, as it penetrates into the wood for a distance of 12 cm is           [CBSE PMT 2000; DPMT 2003]

    A)             \[2.2\times {{10}^{3}}N\]

    B)               \[3.2\times {{10}^{3}}N\]

    C)             \[4.2\times {{10}^{3}}N\]

    D)               \[5.2\times {{10}^{3}}N\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[u=250\,m/s\], \[v=0\], \[s=0.12\,metre\]             \[F=ma=m\left( \frac{{{u}^{2}}-{{v}^{2}}}{2s} \right)=\frac{20\times {{10}^{-3}}\times {{(250)}^{2}}}{2\times 0.12}\]             \[\therefore \]     \[F=5.2\times {{10}^{3}}\,N\]
