Equation of motion to be used :- " v2 = u2-2aS" , v and u are final and intial speed respectively, a is retardation and S is distance.
 
Half of the speed lost in 3 cm. if initial speed is v, then after travelling 3 cm in wall final speed becomes v/2
 
hence v2/4 = v2-2×a×0.03 ......(1)
 
solving for retardation a from eqn(1) , we write retardation a in terms of v , hence  a = 12.5×v2
 
to stop the bullet completely, we need to consider that final speed of bullet is zero and initial speed v/2.
 
hence the further stopping distance S is calculated as  0 = (v2/4)-2×(12.5V2)×S...............(2)
 
solving eqn. (2) for S, we get S = 0.01 m = 1 cm.
 
hence bullet will travel further 1 cm and will be stopped completely.

Plssss answer..... Assertion: Magnetic field lines never intersect each other. Reason: If they intersect, then at the point of intersection, the compass needle would point towards two directions, which is not possible.
