A bullet fired into a target loses half ...

A bullet fired into a target loses half of its velocity after penetrating 36 cm. Further distance covered by it before coming to rest will be

A

18 cm

B

24 cm

C

12 cm

D

30 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Since time in both cases is same
`:.`During retarded motion.
`x_1:x_2=3:1implies(x_1)/(x_2)=(3)/(1)impliesx_2(36)/(3)=12cm`
