A bullet moving with a velocity of $100\, m/s$ can just penetrate two planks of equal thickness. The number of such planks penetrated by the same bullet, when the velocity is doubled, will be

A dancer moves counterclockwise at constant speed around the path shown below. The path is such that the lengths of its segments, $PQ, QR, RS$, and $SP$, are equal. Arcs $QR$ and $SP$ are semicircles. Which of the following best represents the magnitude of the dancer’s acceleration as a function of time $t$ during one trip around the path, beginning at point $P$ ?
