    A bullet losses 1/30th of its velocity in passing through a plank. The least number of planks to stop the bullet would be

    A)  11                              

    B)  14              

    C)  16                              

    D)  15

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     According to questions,\[{{\left( \frac{29}{30}v \right)}^{2}}-{{v}^{2}}=2ax\]            ?(i) Let the number of wooden plank is n and hence the thickness of it will be nx, then, \[0-{{v}^{2}}=2anx\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[n=\frac{-{{v}^{2}}}{2ax}\] \[n=\frac{-{{v}^{2}}}{\left( \frac{29}{30} \right){{v}^{2}}-{{v}^{2}}}=\frac{-{{(30)}^{2}}}{{{(29)}^{2}}-{{(30)}^{2}}}\] [from Eq. (i)] \[=\frac{30\times 30}{59}=15.25\]             So, least number of planks = 16
