Q8 A bullet having mass of 10g and moving with a speed of 15 m/s, penetrates a thick wooden
plank of mass 90 g. The plank was initially at rest. The bullet gets embedded in the plank and
both move together. Determine their velocities

mass of bullet=10g=0.01kg
velocity of bullet=1.5
s
m
mass of plank=90g=0.09kg
Total momentum before collision=mass of plank × velocity
=0.01×1.5+0.09×0=0.015kg
s
m
Total momentum after collision=(mass of bullet +mass of plank )× velocity
=0.1kg×V=0.1Vkg
s
m
According to law of conservation of momentum,
Total momentum before collision=Total momentum after collision
0.015kg
s
m
=0.1vkg
s

velocity acquired by the plank and the bullet=0.15

LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY I HAVE BY MISTAKE TAKEN 1.5 m/s and IN YOUR QUESTION IT WAS 15 m/s. SO ALL YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS I HAVE DONE JUST CHANGE THE 1.5m/s to TO ACCORDING TO YOUR QUESTION
