  1. A bullet of mass  10g leaves a rifle at an initial velocity of 1000 m/s and strikes the earth at the same level with a velocity of 500 m/s. The work done in joules overcoming the resistance of air will be
    1. 375
    2. 3750
    3. 5000
    4. 500
Correct Option: B

W = ∆E  =
1
m(v12 - v22)
2

=
1
10 × (10002 - 5002) = 3750 J
