A piece of wood of mass 0.3 kg is dropped from the top of a 20 m height building. At the same time, a bullet of mass 0.2 kg is fired vertically upward, with a velocity 80m/s from the ground. The bullet strikes the wood and gets embedded in it. Then, the maximum height to which the combined system reaches above the top of the building before falling below is: (`g= 10m//s^2`)

A

20m

B

5m

C

43.2 m

D

35m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


`X_(cm) , i=(0.3 xx 20)/(0.5) = 12m `
` V_(cm), i=(0.2 xx 80)/(0.5) = 32m//s`
` H_(max)` of centre of mass
above `P = (32 xx 32)/(2 xx 10) = 51.2 m`
Height above top of building = 51.2 - 8 = 43.2 m
