JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.2 friction

A bullet of mass \(0.1\,kg\) moving horizontally with speed \(400\,ms ^{-1}\) hits a wooden block of mass \(3.9\,kg\) kept on a horizontal rough surface. The bullet gets embedded into the block and moves \(20\,m\) before coming to rest. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is \(........\) \(\left(\text { Given } g=10 \,ms ^2\right. \text { ) }\)

  1. A \(0.50\)
  2. B \(0.90\)
  3. C \(0.65\)
  4. D \(0.25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P _{ i }= P _{ f }(\text { Collision })\) \(\Rightarrow(0.1)(400)=(0.1+3.9) v\) \(\Rightarrow v =\frac{0.1 \times 400}{4}=10\,m / s\) \(a =\frac{\mu mg }{ m }=\mu g\) Apply equation of motion, \(v ^2=u^2+2 as\) \(\Rightarrow 0=(10)^2-2 \mu g \times 20\)…
