2.Motion in Straight Line
normal
A bullet fired into a fixed target loses half of its velocity after penetrating $3\, cm$. How much further will it penetrate before coming to rest assuming that it faces constant resistance to motion.........$cm$
A
$1.5$
B
$1$
C
$3$
D
$2$
Solution
$\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{2}\right)^{2}=\mathrm{V}^{2}-2 \mathrm{a}(3)$ $…(1)$
$0^{2}=\mathrm{V}^{2}-2 \mathrm{a}(\mathrm{S})$ $…(2)$
Solving $\mathrm{S}=4 \mathrm{cm}$
So, $4-3=1 \mathrm{cm}$
