Q. A block of a mass of
10 kg rests on a horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between the block and the table is
0.05. When hit by a bullet of mass
50 g moving with speed
v, that gets embedded in it, 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 height H, then neglecting energy losses and taking
g=10ms−2, the value of H is close to:
- 0.04km
- 0.05km
- 0.02km
- 0.03km
