A bullet of 10g, moving with velocity v, collides head-on with the stationary bob of a pendulum and recoils with velocity 100 m/s. The length of the pendulum is 0.5m and mass of the bob is 1kg. The minimum value of v = _____m/s so that the pendulum describes a circle.
(Assume the string to be inextensible and g = 10 m/s2)
