Work Energy and Power - Result Question 15

17. A person holding a rifle (mass of person and rifle together is 100kg ) stands on a smooth surface and fires 10 shots horizontally, in 5s. Each bullet has a mass of 10g with a muzzle velocity of 800ms1. The final velocity acquired by the person and the average force exerted on the person are [NEET Kar. 2013]

(a) 1.6ms1;8N

(b) 0.08ms1;16N

(c) 0.8ms1;8N

(d) 1.6ms1;16N

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 17. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) According to law of conservation of momentum

MV+mnv=0

V=mNvM=0.01kg×10×800m/s100

0.8m/s

According to work energy theorem,

Average work done = Change in average

kinetic energy

i.e., Fav×Sav=12mVms2

FavVmaxt2=12mVrms 22

Fav=8N
