Solution

The correct option is A 2h ln 2V0
Let us assume that bullet covers the distance h in time t.


It is given that the resistant force is proportional to the speed,
FRV

FR=kV

Where, ve sign indicates that the force is resistive in nature and k is any constant

Or, a=kmV=kV

a=kV .....(1)

Also as a=dVdt

We have

a=dVdt=dVdtdxdx=dVdxdxdt

a=dVdxV=kV .....(2)

On solving (1) and (2) we get,

VdVdx=kVa=kVdV=k dxdVdt=kVV02V0dV=kh0dxV02V0dVv=kt0dtV02=khln V02ln V0=ktk=V02h(1)t=ln 2k(2)

From (1) and (2)
t=2h ln 2V0
