A bullet of 20 gram strikes a sandbag at a speed of 200 metre per second and gets embedded after travelling 2CM then find the resistive force exerted by sand on the bullet
Answers
Answer:
20000N
Explanation:
Given-----> Mass of bullet is 20grams and bullet strikes a sandbag at a speed of 200 m/sec and gets embedded after travelling 2 Cm
To find -----> Find the resistive force exerted by the sand on the bullet to come to rest
Solution-----> ATQ,
Bullet of mass = 20 gram
= 20 × 10⁻³ kg
Initial velocoity of bullet = 200 m / sec
Final velocity of bullet = 0
Distance travelled by bullet = 2 Cm
= 2 × 10⁻² m
Now by third equation of motion ,
2as = v² - u²
=> 2 a ( 2 × 10⁻² ) = ( 0 )² - ( 200)²
=> 4 × 10⁻² a = - 40000
=> a = - 40000 / 4× 10⁻²
=> a = - 40000 × 10² / 4
=> a = - 10000 × 10²
=> a = - 10^6 m / s²
Negative value of a shows that , it is retardition and sand applied resistance at bullet ,
Now we know that ,
Force = mass × acceleration
So,
Resistive force applied by sand on bullet
= mass of bullet × acceleration
= 20 × 10⁻³ × 10^6
= 20× 10³
= 20000N
