A bullet of mass 20 g is moving with a constant linear momentum of 8 kg m/s . The time taken by the bullet to cover a straight distance of 120 m is:
Options
- A0.3 s
- B3 s
- C30 s
- D300 s
Correct answer
A. 0.3 s
Step-by-step solution
Given mass of the bullet, m = 20 g = 20 10⁻³ kg Linear momentum, p = 8 kg m/s Velocity of the bullet, v = p m = 8 20 10⁻³ = 400 m/s Distance to be covered, d = 120 m Time taken, t = d v = 120 400 = 0.3 s Answer: 0.3 s
