A cart is moving towards a fixed target with
speed of v m/s. A gun mounted on cart fires
bullets at the rate of 5 per second. If number of
the bullets received at target per second is 6 then
find the value of n if bullets are moving with nu.

Given : a cart is moving towards a fixed target with speed of v m/s a gun mounted on cart fires bullets at the rate of 5 per second. the no of bullets received at target per second is 6 . bullets are moving with nv
To find : value of n
Solution:
Bullets are travelling at nv m/s
Let say time taken to reach by 1st bullet = t sec
Then distance covered by bullet = nv * t m
Bullets are fired at rate of 5 bullets per sec
=> one bullet per 0.2 sec
Hence 6th bullet has been fired after 1.2 sec
But 6th bullet reached with in a interval of 1 sec of 1st bullet fired
Hence travel time of 6th bullet = t - 1.2 + 1
= t - 0.2 sec
Distance covered by bullet in t - 0.2 sec = nv (t - 0.2 )
=nvt - 0.2nv m
Hence Cart has covered a distance of 0.2nv m before firing bullet
Time taken = 1.2 Sec
Speed of Cart = v m/s
Distance covered = 1.2v m
1.2v = 0.2nv
=> n = 6
value of n = 6
