Here's how the formula for velocity VV is derived from the conservation of energy:

  1. Start with the conservation of energy equation.

    The kinetic energy of the combined mass immediately after the collision is converted into potential energy as it rises to height hh.

    12(mb+mp)V2=(mb+mp)gh\frac{1}{2} (m_b + m_p) V^2 = (m_b + m_p) g h
  2. Divide both sides of the equation by the combined mass (mb+mp)(m_b + m_p).

    This cancels out the mass term from both sides, as it is present on both sides of the equation.

    12V2=gh\frac{1}{2} V^2 = g h
  3. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

    This isolates V2V^2 on the left side.

    V2=2ghV^2 = 2 g h
  4. Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

    This gives the formula for the velocity VV.

    V=2ghV = \sqrt{2 g h}
