Answer Key : (c) -

Time taken for the particles to collide,

T= = =1sec

Speed of wood just before collision=gt=10m/s & and speed of bullet just before collision v−gt =100−10=90 m/s

Now, conservation of linear momentum just before and after the collision

(0.02) (1v) + (0.02) (9v)= (0.05)v

⇒150 = 5v

⇒ v = 30m/s

Max. height reached by body h=

h= =45m

 Height above tower =40m
