A 0.25-kg skeet (clay target) is fired at an angle of 28°

Chapter 7, Problem 77GP

(choose chapter or problem)

A  skeet (clay target) is fired at an angle of \(28^{\circ}\) to the horizontal with a speed of \(25 \mathrm{\ m} / \mathrm{s}\) (Fig.  ). When it reaches the maximum height, , it is hit from below by a 15 -g pellet traveling vertically upward at a speed of \(230 \mathrm{\ m} / \mathrm{s}\). The pellet is embedded in the skeet. (a) How much higher, \(h^{\prime}\), does the skeet go up? (b) How much extra distance, \(\Delta x\), does the skeet travel because of the collision?
