A ball of mass 300 g is dropped from a height 10 m above a sandy ground. On reaching the ground, it penetrates through a distance 1.5 m in sand and finally stops. The average resistance offered by the sand to oppose the motion is (acceleration due to gravity =10 m s-2)

  1. A 35 N
  2. B 23 N
  3. C 34 N
  4. D 28 N
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 23 N

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Net displacement of the ball under the action of gravity is 10+1.5 m. According to work energy theorem, work done by all the forces on a sytem is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system. Therefore,…
