Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 30 January, Shift 1

A ball of mass 200g200 \, \text{g} rests on a vertical post of height 20m20 \, \text{m}. A bullet of mass 10g10 \, \text{g}, travelling in horizontal direction, hits the centre of the ball. After collision both travel independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance of 30m30 \, \text{m} and the bullet at a distance of 120m120 \, \text{m} from the foot of the post. The value of initial velocity of the bullet will be (if g=10m/s2g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2):

  • A

    120m/s120 \, \text{m/s}

  • B

    60m/s60 \, \text{m/s}

  • C

    400m/s400 \, \text{m/s}

  • D

    360m/s360 \, \text{m/s}
