A 0.25 kg skeet (clay target) is fired at an angle of 28 degrees to the horizontal with a speed of 25.0 m/s as shown in the figure above. When it reaches its maximum height, h, it is hig form below by a 15 g pellet traveling vertically upward at a speed of 230 m/s. The pellet is embedded in the skeet.
(a) How much higher, h, does the skeet go up?
(b) How much extra distance does the skeet travel because of the collision?
