Question

A bullet of mass 10gm strikes a target at a velocity of 400m/s and loses half of its initial velocity. The loss of kinetic energy in joule is:
  1. 800
  2. 400
  3. 200
  4. 600

A
200
B
600
C
800
D
400
Solution
Verified by Toppr

ΔK.E=12m(V2finalV2initial)

=12×102((4002)2(400)2)

=12×102×16×104×34

=600J

Loss =600J
