- A bullet spins as the shot is fired from a gun. For this purpose, two helical slots as shown in the figure are cut in the barrel. Projections A and B on the bullet engage in each of the slots.
Helical slots are such that one turn of helix is completed over a distahce of 0.5 m. If velocity of bullet when it exits the barrel is 20 m/s, its spinning speed in rad/s is ______.

At t = 0, mass is at rest, F = 5 kN for 10–4 seconds & amplitude = xF = m × dv dt
F.t2∫t1 dt = m v2∫v1dv
F(t2 – t1) = m × (v2 – v1)
5 × 10–3 × 10-4 = 1 × (v2 – 0)
0.5 m/s = v21 mv²2 = 1 kx² 2 2 ⇒ x = √ mv²2 = √ 1 × 0.5 × 0.5 = 5 mm k 10 × 1000 Correct Option: C
