A bullet of mass \(4.2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{kg},\) moving at a speed of \(300 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\), gets stuck into a block with a mass 9 times that of the bullet. If the block is free to move without any kind of friction, the heat generated in the process will be

  1. A \(45 \mathrm{cal}\)
  2. B \(405 \mathrm{cal}\)
  3. C \(450 \mathrm{cal}\)
  4. D \(1701 \mathrm{cal}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(405 \mathrm{cal}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let mass of bullet = \(m\) Mass of block \(=\mathrm{M}\) Velocity of bullet \(=v=300 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) Velocity of combined system \(M+m=V\) Here, fhom momentum conservation \(\frac{M+m}{m} V=v\)…
