Question

A block of wood, A, initially at rest, is hit from the bottom with a bullet aimed along a path through the center of mass of the block. The bullet comes to rest inside the block. Meanwhile, the block rises vertically to some maximum height with negligible rotation and then falls back toward the ground. This is repeated with a second block, B, except that the bullet is not aimed along a path through the center of mass of the block. As a consequence, block B rotates as it rises vertically. Compare and explain the maximum heights achieved by the two blocks.

Explanation / Answer

for box A whole energy is coverted potential energy that help in to achive maximum height.

for box b energy is converted potential + rotational energy. that provide less potential energy as compare to box A ..
