Calculating Maximum Height and Horizontal Range of 0.25kg Skeet

[wing_88]

Homework Statement

0.25-kg skeet is fred at an angle 30 to horizontal with a speed 25m/s.
when it reaches tha max. height, it is hit from below by a 15g pellet traveling verticaly upwared at speed of 200m/s. the pellet is embedded to the skeet.
1) how much higher did the skeet go up?
2) how much extra horizontal distance?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

at highest v=0
vsin 0 is the speed of skeet
horizontal range should be v times t
..

Hi wing_88! Welcome to PF!

at highest v=0 …

Nooo.

Anyway, start by considering what is conserved at the time of collision … then what is the equation for that?
