If a body losses half of its velocity on penetrating 3 cm in a wooden block, then how much will it penetrate more before coming to rest ?
(a) 1cm
(b) 2cm
(c) 3cm
(d) 4cm
Correct option (a) 1cm Explanation: Let initial velocity of body at point A be v, AB is 3 cm.
Let on penetrating 3 cm in a wooden block, the body moves x distance from B to C.
Note Here, it is assumed that retardation is uniform.
