A bullet leaving the muzzle of a rifle barrel with a velocity v penetrates a plank and loses one-fifth of its velocity. It then strikes second plank, which it just penetrates through. Find the ratio of the thickness of the planks, supposing the average resistance to the penetration is same in both the cases.

A bullet passes through a plank and loses (1)/(20) of its initial velocity. The minimum number of such planks which can just stop the bullet is

A bullet moving with a speed 'v' can just penetrate two planks of equal thickness. Number of such planks that the bullet will penetrate if its speed is doubled, is:

A bullet of mass 20 g moving with a speed of 500 cm*s^(-1) is just able to pierce a plank 5 cm thick. Calculate its velocity ,when the same bullet penetrates through the same plank 1 cm thick.

Having gone through a plank of thickness h, a bullet changed its velocity from v_(0) to v_(1) . Find the time of motion of the bullet on the plank, assuming the resistance force to be proportional to the square of the velocity.
