Question

A bullet of mass 10 g and speed 500 m/s is fired into a door and gets embedded exactly at the center of the door. The door is 1.0 m wide and weights 12 kg. It is hinged at one end and rotates about a vertical axis practically without friction. The angular speed of the door just after the bullet embeds into it will be:

Answer 1

Mass of the bullet, m = 10 g = 10 × 10–3 kg

Velocity of the bullet, v = 500 m/s

Thickness of the door, L = 1 m

Radius of the door, r = m / 2

Mass of the door, M = 12 kg

Angular momentum imparted by the bullet on the door:

α = mvr

= (10 × 10-3 ) × (500) × (1/2) = 2.5 kg m2 s-1 …(i)

Moment of inertia of the door:

I = ML2 / 3

= (1/3) × 12 × 12 = 4 kgm2

But α = Iω

∴ ω = α / I

= 2.5 / 4

= 0.625 rad s-1.....

Hope u like it ....mark it as brainliest pls;
