    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) \[15\,\,\times \,\,{{10}^{4}}m/{{s}^{2}}\]       

    B) \[10\,\,\times \,\,{{10}^{4}}m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    C) \[12\,\,\times \,\,{{10}^{4}}m/{{s}^{2}}\]       

    D) \[14.5\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    From equation of motion                   \[{{\nu }^{2}}={{u}^{2}}+2as\] where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is retardation and s is distance travel.            Given, \[\operatorname{v} = 100 m/s,\,\,u =200 m/s\] \[s=10\,cm\,\,=\,\,10\times {{10}^{-}}^{2}m\] Putting the numerical values in Eq. (a), we have \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,~{{\left( 100 \right)}^{2}}={{\left( 200 \right)}^{2}}+2\times a\times 10\times 1{{0}^{-2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\, 30000= 20a\,\times  1{{0}^{-}}^{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,a=-\frac{30000}{20\,\,\times \,\,{{10}^{-2}}}\] \[\,=-15\times {{10}^{4}}\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] Minus sign shows negative acceleration, i.e., retardation.
