1) 15 / 12 = 1.25 ratio
2) to increase acceleration 1.25 times (with same F, or same engine) you have to lower mass 1.25 times
3) 1515/1.25 = 1212 kg
choose A
Answer:395.6 m/s
Explanation:
Given
mass of bullet 
mass of wood block 
Length of string 
Center of mass rises to an height of 
initial velocity of bullet 
let
and
be the velocity of bullet and block after collision
Conserving momentum
-------------1
Now after the collision block rises to an height of 0.38 cm
Conserving Energy for block
kinetic energy of block at bottom=Gain in Potential Energy




substitute the value of
in equation 1


To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion in relation to those of linear / tangential motion.
We will proceed to find the centripetal acceleration (From the ratio of the radius and angular velocity to the linear velocity) and the tangential acceleration to finally find the total acceleration of the body.
Our data is given as:
The angular speed
The angular acceleration
The distance
The relation between the linear velocity and angular velocity is

Where,
r = Radius
Angular velocity
At the same time we have that the centripetal acceleration is






Now the tangential acceleration is given as,

Here,
Angular acceleration
r = Radius


Finally using the properties of the vectors, we will have that the resulting component of the acceleration would be



Therefore the correct answer is C.
