    A bullet of mass 4g is fired horizontally with a speed of 300 m/s into 0.8 kg block of wood at rest on a table. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the table is 0.3, how far will the block slide approximately?   [JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 12 Apirl  2014 )

    A) 0.19 m                  

    B) 0.379 m

    C)  0.569 m                              

    D) 0.758 m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Given, \[{{m}_{1}}=4g,{{u}_{1}}=300m/s\] \[{{m}_{2}}=0.8kg=800g,{{u}_{2}}=0m/s\] From law of conservation of momentum, \[{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}={{m}_{1}}{{v}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{v}_{2}}\] Let the velocity of combined system = v m/s then,\[4\times 300+800\times 0=(800+4)\times v\] \[v=\frac{1200}{804}=1.49m/s\] Now, \[\mu =0.3\] (given) \[a=\mu g\] \[a=0.3\times 10\]                           (take \[g=10\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]) \[=3m/{{s}^{2}}\]then, from \[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}+2\]as \[{{(1.49)}^{2}}=0+2\times 3\times s\]\[s=\frac{{{\left( 1.49 \right)}^{2}}}{6}\] \[s=\frac{2.22}{6}\]                         \[=0.379m\]
