A bullet travelling with a velocity of 16m s


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 373 People


A bullet travelling with. Velocity of 16m/s penetrates a tree trunk and comes to rest in 0.4m .find time taken during the retardation

Answered by admin @



Initial velocity= u= 16 m/s
distance covered = S=  0.4 m
Final velocity=v= 0 m/s

the equation of motion;
v²=u²+2aS

0=16²+2 x a x 0.4
a=-16²/0.8  
a=-320 m/s

As it carries a negative sign it represent retardation. 

Time taken during the retardation is given by the equation;
 v=u+at 0= 16-320 x t  
t=16/320
t=1/20
t=0.05 s
