A bullet of mass 10 g moving at 300 m/s penetrates 10 cm into a wooden block. Average resistive force is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A bullet of mass 10 g moving at 300 m/s penetrates 10 cm into a wooden block. Average resistive force is
A. 4500 N
B. 3000 N
C. 9000 N
D. 1500 N
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
KE lost = ½ m v² = ½×0.01×90000 = 450 J. Work = F×s => 450 = F×0.1 => F = 4500 N.

In a simple harmonic motion (SHM), where is the kinetic energy of the oscillating particle maximum?
A. At the mean position
B. Halfway between mean and extreme position
C. It remains constant everywhere
D. At the extreme positions

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In Simple Harmonic Motion (like a swinging pendulum), velocity is maximum when the particle passes through its equilibrium or mean position. Since Kinetic Energy = ½mv², KE is maximum at the mean position. At the extreme positions, the velocity is briefly zero, meaning kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is maximum.

A body of mass m is taken from Earth's surface to a height equal to twice Earth's radius. Change in potential energy is
A. 2mgR/3
B. 3mgR
C. mgR
D. mgR/3

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
ΔU = GMm (1/R - 1/(R+2R)) = GMm (1/R - 1/3R) = (2/3)GMm/R = (2/3)mgR.
