A pendulum consists of a 2.0-kg block hanging on a 1.5-m length string. A 10-g bullet moving with a horizontal velocity of 900 m/s strikes, passes through, and emerges from the block (initially at rest) with a horizontal velocity of 300 m/s. To what maximum height above its initial position will the block swing?
 a. 32 cm
  b. 38 cm
  c. 46 cm
  d. 27 cm
  e. 9 cm

 a. 8.0 J
