Q.

A ball of mass 200 g rests on a vertical post of height 20 m. A bullet of mass 10 g, travelling in horizontal direction, hits the centre of the ball. After collision both travel independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance 30 m and the bullet at a distance of 120 m from the foot of the post. The value of initial velocity of the bullet will be (if g = 10 m/s2)            [2023]

1 120 m/s  
2 60 m/s  
3 400 m/s  
4 360 m/s  

Ans.

(4)

v1=302hg,  v2=1202hg

(0.01)u=(0.2)30g2h+(0.01)120g2h

u=300+60=360 ms-1
