A 10kg object is dropped from rest from the top of a 100m cliff. Exactly one second later, an 8g bullet is fired upward from the ground with a muzzle velocity of 300(m)/(s). Assume an inelastic collision occurs between the two objects. How long after the 10kg object is dropped will the combined object hit the ground? Compare that time to the time for the 10kg object to hit the ground without the collision.

Question
A 10kg object is dropped from rest from the top of
a 100m cliff. Exactly one second later, an 8g bullet
is fired upward from the ground with a muzzle
velocity of 300(m)/(s). Assume an inelastic
collision occurs between the two objects. How long
after the 10kg object is dropped will the combined
object hit the ground? Compare that time to the
time for the 10kg object to hit the ground without
the collision.
