$A$ bullet of mass $10 \ g$ pierces through a plate $A$ of mass $500 \ g$ and then gets embedded into a second plate $B$ of mass $1.49 \ kg$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the two plates $A$ and $B$ are at rest and move with the same velocity after the collision. The percentage loss in the initial kinetic energy of the bullet when it is between the plates $A$ and $B$ is . . . . . . (Neglect any loss of material of the plates during the collision).

  • A
    $25$
  • B
    $56.25$
  • C
    $43.75$
  • D
    $75$

$A$ target is made of two plates,one of wood and the other of iron. The thickness of the wooden plate is $4\,cm$ and that of the iron plate is $2\,cm$. $A$ bullet fired goes through the wood first and then penetrates $1\,cm$ into the iron. $A$ similar bullet fired with the same velocity from the opposite direction goes through the iron first and then penetrates $2\,cm$ into the wood. If $a_1$ and $a_2$ are the retardations offered to the bullet by the wood and iron plates respectively,then:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is at rest in a train moving with constant velocity with respect to the ground. Now,the particle is accelerated by a constant force $F_0$ acting along the direction of motion of the train for time $t_0$. $A$ girl in the train and a boy on the ground measure the work done by this force. Which of the following are $INCORRECT$?

Two persons $A$ and $B$ are throwing a ball of mass $200 \ g$ at a wall as shown in the figure. The balls strike the wall perpendicularly at the same point at a height of $2 \ m$ from the ground. The balls strike the wall elastically at the same time and return back to $A$ and $B$ at the same time. They repeat this process. What is the average force exerted on the wall (in $N$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
