$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the particle starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. The maximum height $h$ attained by the particle is:

$A$ ball is projected vertically upwards. Air resistance and variation in $g$ may be neglected. The ball rises to its maximum height $H$ in a time $T$,the height being $h$ after a time $t$.
