Assume that the material of the wooden block provides uniform retardation to the penetrating body at all times . This assumption is extremely imoortant for solving this problem .

Key equation for solving this problem :

v² = u² + 2*a*s

v = velocity of the body at any later instant

u = initial velocity of the body

a = uniform acceleration ( or retardation ) of the body penetrating the wooden block

When body penetrates 3 cm into the block ,

v = u/2

a = keep it as it is

s = x = 3 cm , but keep it as ‘x’ as for now , we will plug-in the value later .

So

(u/2)² = u² - 2*a*x

Or

3u²/4 = 2*a*x —— ( * )

Now ,

Let t

Suppose the initial velocity is ‘v'

And so the final velocity after covering 3 cm will be v/2

So by equation of motion,

v^2= u^2 +2as

(v/2)^2= v^2 +2as

v^2/4 -v^2= 2as

2as= -3v^2/4

a= -3v^2/4×2s

a= -3v^2/24

a= -v^2/8

Now,

v^2= u^2 + 2as

And the final velocity is zero

0= v^2/4 -2×(v^2/8)×s

s= (v^2/4)/2× v^2/8

So,

s= 1cm
