A bullet loses of its velocity passing through a plank. The least number of planks required to stop the bullet is (All planks offers same retardation)
For a bullet to be stopped, it must lose all its velocity. If it loses 1/20th of its velocity after passing through one plank, then to lose its entire velocity, it needs to pass through 20 planks. Therefore, the least number of planks required to stop the bullet is 11.
