    A bullet of mass 250 g moving with a velocity 200 m/s is stopped within 5 cm of the target. The average resistance offered by the target is:

    A) 40 kN                                    

    B) 30 kN

    C) 20 kN                                    

    D) 10 RN

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Average resistance offered by the target to the bullet is given by Newton's  second law. From equation of motion we have\[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}-2\,as\] where, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is displacement Given, \[u=200\,m/s,\,s=0.05\,m,\,v=0\] \[\therefore \]     \[O={{(200)}^{2}}-2a\times 0.05\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[a=\frac{{{(200)}^{2}}}{2\times 0.5}=4\times {{10}^{4}}\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] Resistance offered = F = ma \[=0.25\times 4\times {{10}^{4}}\] \[=10\times {{10}^{3}}N=10\text{kN}\]
