Question

A 15g bullet at 800m/s emerges from a target with 25% of its initial kinetic energy. What is its emergent speed?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Kinetic energy K=½mv² and potential U=mgh per NCERT. Energy conservation K+U=constant for conservative forces. Substituting m, v, h gives 400 m/s as energy, matching option B.
