The bullet hits a soft target at a height h above the ground while it is moving downward and emerges out with half the kinetic energy it had before hitting the target. Which of the following statements are correct in respect of bullet after it emerges out of the target?

(a) The velocity of the bullet will be reduced to half its initial value.

(b) The velocity of the bullet will be more than half of its earlier velocity.

(c) The bullet will continue to move along the same parabolic path.

(d) The bullet will move in a different parabolic path.

(e) The bullet will fall vertically downward after hitting the target.

(f) The internal energy of the particles of the target will increase.

(b) conserving energy between “O” ans ”A”

U_i+ K_i= U_f+ K_f

0+1/2mv²= mgh + 1/2mv'

$\frac{{(v')}^{2}}{2} = \frac{v^{2}}{2} = - g h$

(v')²=v²-2gh = v^'= $\sqrt[]{v^{2} - 2 g h}$ ……….1

Let speed after emerging be v₁then

=1/2mv₁²=1/2[1/2mv'²]

1/2m(v₁)²=1/4m(v')²=1/4m[v²-2gh]

V₁= $\sqrt[]{\frac{v^{2}}{2} - g h}$ ………….2

From eqn 1 and 2

$\frac{v'}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt[]{v^{2} - 2 g h}}{\sqrt[]{v^{2} - 2 g h / \sqrt[]{2}}} = \sqrt[]{2}$

So v₁ = v'/

Using Newton’s formula,

$\Rightarrow (f + d_{1}) (f - d_{2}) = f^{2}$

$\Rightarrow f = \frac{d_{1} d_{2}}{d_{1} - d_{2}} \Rightarrow R = \frac{2 d_{1} d_{2}}{d_{1} - d_{2}}$

Two blocks M₁ and M₂ having equal mass are free to move on a horizontal frictionless surface. M₂ is attached to a massless spring as shown in Fig. 6.10. Initially M₂ is at rest and M₁ is moving toward M₂ with speed v and collides head-on with M₂.

(a) While spring is fully compressed all the KE of M₁ is stored as PE of spring.

(b) While spring is fully compressed the system momentum is not conserved, though final momentum is equal to initial momentum.

(c) If spring is massless, the final state of the M₁ is state of rest.

(d) If the surface on which blocks are moving has friction, then collision cannot be elastic.

Time of contact =0.001s

U=126km/h= $\frac{126 \times 1000}{60 \times 60} = \frac{35 m}{s}$

V= -35m/s

Change in momentum of the ball = m (v-u)= $\frac{3}{20} (- 35 - 35) k g m / s$
