A bullet of 10 \mathrm{~g}, moving with velocity v, collides head-on with the stationary bob of a pendulum and recoils with velocity 100 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}. The length of the pendulum is 0.5 \mathrm{~m} and mass of the bob is 1 \mathrm{~kg}. The minimum value of v=_________\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} so that the pendulum describes a circle.
(Assume the string to be inextensible and \mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2})

By linear  momentum conservation

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}= m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2}\\

10\times 10^{-3}\left ( V\right )+1(0)= 10^{-2}\times (-100)+(1)V_{2}\\

V_{2}= 1+10^{-2}V

For the Bob to just complete the vertical circular motion

V_{2}= \sqrt{5gR}

here R= l= 0.5\\

1+10^{-2}V= \sqrt{25}\\

1+10^{-2}= V5\\

\Rightarrow V= 400(m/s)
