Q6.20Multiple correct
A bullet of mass m fired at 30° to the horizontal leaves the barrel of the gun with a velocity v.

Which of the following statements are correct in respect of bullet after it emerges out of the target?
- (a)The velocity of the bullet will be reduced to half its initial value.
- (b)The velocity of the bullet will be more than half of its earlier velocity.
- (c)The bullet will continue to move along the same parabolic path.
- (d)The bullet will move in a different parabolic path. (e) The bullet will fall vertically downward after hitting the target. (f) The internal energy of the particles of the target will increase.
