AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

A disc of mass 0.2 kg is kept floating in air without falling by vertically firing bullets each of mass 0.05 kg on the disc at the rate of 10 bullets per every second. If the bullets rebound with the same speed, then the speed of each bullet is \(\left(\right.\) Acceleration due to gravity \(\left.=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right)\)

  1. A \(2 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(20 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(1 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M_{disc}g = N(2m_{bullet}v)\) \(0.2 \cdot 10 = 10 \cdot (2 \cdot 0.05 \cdot v)\) \(2 = 10 \cdot (0.1v)\) \(2 = v\) \(v = 2 \, \mathrm{m \, s}^{-1}\)
