A bullet loses 1/20 of its velocity in passing through one plank What is the minimum number of plank's required to stop the ballet:

A rifle bullet loses half of its velocity in penetrating 24 cm in a wooden plank. The further distance covered by the bullet in coming to rest is:

A bullet moving with a speed of 150 ms^(-1) strikes a wooden plank. After passing through the plank its speed becomes 125 ms^(-1) . Another bullet of the same mass and size strikes the plank with a speed of 90 ms^(-1) . Its speed after passing through the plank would be:

0.80 g of a substance was digested with sulphuric acid and then distilled with an excess of caustic soda. The ammonia gas evolved was passed through 100 ml of 1N H_(2)SO_(4) . The excess of the acid required 80 ml of 1N caustic soda solution for its complete neutralisation. Calculate the percentage of nitrogen in the organic compound.

A bullet moving with a velocity of 800 ms^(-1) strikes two wooden plates of width x_(1) and x_(2) and in pasing through each of them loses 200 ms^(-1) of its velocity. Assuming the resistance of the plates to be uniform the ratio n_(1)//n_(2) is :
