$A$ bullet of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v_1$ strikes a wooden block of mass $M$ suspended as shown in the figure and gets embedded in it. If the block rises to a height $h$,what is the initial velocity of the bullet?

  • A
    $\frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{2gh}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2gh}$
  • C
    $\frac{M + m}{M} \sqrt{2gh}$
  • D
    $\frac{m}{M + m} \sqrt{2gh}$

Particle $A$ of mass $m_{1}$ moving with velocity $(\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, m/s$ collides with another particle $B$ of mass $m_{2}$ which is at rest initially. Let $\vec{V}_{1}$ and $\vec{V}_{2}$ be the velocities of particles $A$ and $B$ after collision,respectively. If $m_{1} = 2m_{2}$ and after collision $\vec{V}_{1} = (\hat{i} + \sqrt{3} \hat{j}) \, m/s$,the angle between $\vec{V}_{1}$ and $\vec{V}_{2}$ is $......^{\circ}$.
