A bullet moving with a speed of `100 ms^(-1)` can just penetrate into two planks of equal thickness. Then the number of such planks, if speed is doubled will be .

A

4

B

8

C

6

D

10

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Stopping distance `(S) = u^2/(2a) implies S prop u^2`
If speed is doubled then
S. = 4S
Number of plank = 8.
