A body of mass 2.9 kg is suspended from a string of length 2.5 metres and is at rest. A bullet of mass 100 gram moving horizonta
lly with a speed of 150 metres per second strikes and sticks to it. what is the maximum angle made by the string with vertical after the impact.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.
By definition we know that the position of a body is given by
Where
Initial position
Initial velocity
a = Acceleration
t= time
And the velocity can be expressed as,
Where,
For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then
With our values we have , rearranging to find a,
Therefore the final velocity would be
Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s
