Q174 / 200 · Manipal (MET) 2010 · Physics

A bullet comes out of the barrel of gun of length 2 m with a speed $80 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The average acceleration of the bullet is

  • A
    $1.6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
  • B
    $160 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $1600 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
  • D
    $16 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$

Solution

Given, $s=2 \mathrm{~m}, u=80 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, v=0$ From $v^2=u^2-2 a s$ $\therefore (0)^2=(80)^2-2 \times a \times 2$ or $a=\frac{80 \times 80}{4}=1600 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
