Q125 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (20 Aug Shift 2) · Physics

Two paper screens A and B are separated by 150 m. A bullet pierces A and then B. The hole in B is 15 cm below the hole in A. If the bullet is traveling horizontally at the time of hitting A, then the velocity of the bullet at A is: g=10 m s-2

  • A
    1003  m s-1
  • B
    2003 m s-1
  • C
    3003 m s-1
  • Correct answer
    D
    5003 m s-1

Solution

The bullet exhibits horizontal projectile motion.
Displacement of bullet in vertical direction,y=15 cm=0.15 m
Displacement of bullet in horizontal direction,x=150 m

The equation of trajectory, y=gx22u2

⇒0.15=10×15022u2

⇒2u2=10×15020.15

⇒u=5003 ms-1

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