A bullet of mass a moving with velocity ...

A bullet of mass a moving with velocity b strikes a large stationary block of wood of mass c, and remains embed in it, the final velocity of the system is :

A

`(a)/(a+b)c`

B

`(axxb)/(a+b)`

C

`(axxb)/(a-c)`

D

`(a)/(a-c)c`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Applying conservation of momentum `axxb=(a+c)V`
`V=((a)/(a+c))b`
