JEE Main Physics question
A bullet is fired on a fixed target. It penetrates inside the target through distance cm and then stops; the mass of the bullet is kg and of the target is kg. Now an identical bullet moving with the same velocity is fired on the identical target which is placed at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. Find the distance (in cm) to which the bullet will penetrate inside the target.
Answer: 3
Solution
For a fixed target, the resistive force does work (full KE absorbed). For a free target, energy is absorbed only until the bullet and target reach a
