A wooden block of mass10 gmis dropped from the top of a tower100 mhigh. Simultaneously, a bullet of mass10 gmis fired from the foot of the tower vertically upwards with a velocity of100 m s-1. If the bullet is embedded in it, how high will it rise above the tower before it starts falling?g=10 m s-2

Answer:
75.00
Solution:

Block and bullet will collide after1 sat height95 mfrom ground.

Velocity of block before collision=gt=10 m s-1

Velocity of bullet before collision=ugt=90 m s-1

from conservation of linear momentum,

m10+m90=2 mv  v=40 m s-1




Thus height raised by the combined mass

h=v22g=40×402×10=80 m

height from tower=75 m
