Question: A bag (mass M) hangs by a long thread and a bullet (mass m) comes horizontally with velocity v and gets caught in the bag. Then for the combined (bag + bullet) system [CPMT 1989; Kerala PMT 2002]
Options:
A) Momentum is
B) Kinetic energy is
C) Momentum is
D) Kinetic energy is
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Initial momentum =
Final momentum =
By conservation of momentum
Velocity of (bag + bullet) system
Kinetic energy =
