Rotational Motion Question 213

Question: A bullet of mass 10 g and speed 500 m/s is fired into a door and gets embedded exactly at the centre of the door. The door is 1.0 m wide and weighs 12 kg. It is hinged at one end and rotates about a vertical axis practically without friction. The angular speed of the door just after the bullet embeds into it will be:

Options:

A) 6.25rad/sec

B)0.625 rad/sec

C) 3.35 rad/sec

D)0.335 rad/sec

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b]

Letx= distance between hinge and centre of the door =L/2=12=0.5m

As per conservation of angular momentum mvx=Iω

w=mvxI=0.01×500×0.513×12×(1)2=0.625rad/s
