I calculated the initial KE of the pelet to be 100J and then the final KE of them both to be 5J (using the PCLM and the KE formula), leaving 95J of GPE which gives a height of approx 100m.

Momentum would give them both moving with 10ms^-1 post impact, which would give about 5m vertical displacement.

KE after of pellet and block = 5J. Set this equal to mgh and solved.

Ohhh, I get that now. But you see how originally there were 100J of energy, does the remaining 95J get dissipated? I was assuming the 95J got converted to GPE whoops

s = 10^2/(2g)
Admittedly, the suvat formula is basically KE and GPE. But yes, its not elastic as both bodies move with the same velocity afterwards. Its as inelastic as you can get.
