A block of mass 10 kg rests on a horizontal table. When it is hit by a bullet of mass 50 g moving with speed V, it gets embedded in the block. The block moves , and comes to rest after moving a distance of 2 m on the table. If a freely falling object were to acquire speed V10 after being dropped from a height H, then neglecting energy losses and taking g=10 m/s2 find the value of H.
[Take coefficiant of friction between the block and the table to be 0.05]
Why this question? Key Idea- This question is perfect blend of friction, free fall, momentum conservation and energy conservation. |
