A target is made of two plates, one of wood and the other of iron. The thickness of the wooden plate is 4 cm and that of iron plate is 2 cm. A bullet fired goes through the wood first and then penetrates 1 cm into iron. A similar bullet fired with the same velocity from opposite direction goes through iron first and then penetrates 2cm into wood. If a1{a_1} and a2{a_2} be the retardation offered to the bullet by wood and iron plates respectively, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
a2=2a1{a_2} = 2{a_1}
Option B (a2=2a1{a_2} = 2{a_1}) is correct because the work done by the resistive forces is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the bullet. By setting up equations for both scenarios and solving for the ratio of retardations, we find that the retardation offered by the iron plate is twice that of the wooden plate.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
First will be half of second
Option B (First will be half of second) is correct because the boggy decelerates uniformly from the initial velocity to zero, while the train maintains a constant velocity. Therefore, the average velocity of the boggy is half that of the train.

Statement-I: In successive time intervals if the average velocities of a particle are equal then the particle must be moving with constant velocity.
Statement-II: When a particle moves with uniform velocity, its displacement always increases with time.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both statements are false
Option D (Both statements are false) is correct. Statement I is false because equal average velocities in successive intervals don't guarantee constant velocity (velocity could vary within the intervals). Statement II is false because displacement can decrease with time if the velocity is negative.
