Question

2. The figure shows a bullet of mass m approaching a block of mass M from direetly below. The bullet's speed is vo. (a) The bullet strikes the block and sticks in it pletely inelastic collision), causing the block to rise vertically with the bullet stuck inside it. If the block is 100 times more massive than the bullet, what maximum height hi does the block/bullet combination reach? State the answer in terms of Yo and the gravitational acceleration constant g. lol (b) Case 2: The bullet pierces through the block and continues moving straight up at half its initial speed. If the block is 100 times more massive than the bullet, what maximum height h2 does the block reach? State the answer in terms of to and the gravitational acceleration constant g. What is the ratio hi hu iotz 700

Explanation / Answer

Yes, you did it right as you have applied momentum conservation correctly

Also, energy would also be conserved which you have applied.
so, you solved it correctly
