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

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

    B)  \[13.5\times {{10}^{4}}m/{{s}^{2}}\]

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

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Here : initial velocity = 200 m/s Final velocity (v) = 100 m/s distance \[s=10cm=0.1m\] Using the relation of equation of motion \[{{\upsilon }^{2}}={{u}^{2}}+2as\] \[a=\frac{{{\upsilon }^{2}}-{{u}^{2}}}{2s}=\frac{{{(100)}^{2}}-{{(200)}^{2}}}{2\times 0.1}\] \[=\frac{10000-40000}{2\times 0.1}=\frac{-300000}{2}\] \[=-150000\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\] \[=-15\times {{10}^{4}}m/{{s}^{2}}\] \[(-)\]minus sign denotes retardation Time period
