$A$ block of mass $m$ starts from rest and slides down a frictionless semi-circular track from a height $h$ as shown. When it reaches the lowest point of the track,it collides with a stationary piece of putty also having mass $m$. If the block and the putty stick together and continue to slide,the maximum height that the block-putty system could reach is:

  • A
    $h/4$
  • B
    $h/2$
  • C
    $h$
  • D
    independent of $h$
