5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
normal
A bullet of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ strikes a suspended wooden block of mass $M$. If the block rises to a height $h$, the initial velocity of the bullet will be

A
$\frac{{m + M}}{m}\sqrt {2gh} $
B
$\sqrt {2gh} $
C
$\frac{{M + m}}{M}\sqrt {2gh} $
D
$\frac{m}{{M + m}}\sqrt {2gh} $
Solution
$mv = (m + M)V$
$V = \sqrt {2gh} $
$mv = (m + M)\sqrt {2gh} $
==> $v = \frac{{m + M}}{m}\sqrt {2gh} $.
