A rifle bullet loses 125th of its velocity in passing through a plank. The least number of such planks required just to stop the bullet is

  1. A 5
  2. B 10
  3. C 11
  4. D 13
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 13

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If u is the initial velocity of bullet then after passing through one plank the velocity became v=u-u25=24u25 Using kinematic equation for uniform acceleration motion, v2-u2=2as 24u252-u2=2as⇒2as=u2-625+576625⇒2as=-u249625 If n number of planks are required…
