(a) State the principle of conservation of energy and principle of conservation of momentum? (b) A bullet with mass 0.02 kg is fired horizontally with velocity up using a gun of mass 0.8 kg. The bullet hits a block of mass 0.88 kg that is suspended by a light vertical string of length 1.0 m. After the collision, the bullet embeds itself in the block and both rise to a maximum height of 0.4 m as shown in figure below.

(i) Calculate the bullet velocity up (ii) Calculate the angle, that the bullet-block makes with the vertical. (iii) Is this an elastic collision? Explain your answer (iv) The gun recoiled backward with kinetic energy when it is fired.

Does the increase in kinetic energy of the gun contradict the principle of conservation of energy? Justify your answer. [ 2]
