A bullet of mass m fired at 30° to the horizontal leaves the barrel of the gun with a velocity v. Then bullet hits a soft target at a height h above the ground. While it is moving downward it hits the target and emerges out with half the kinetic energy it had before hitting the target. Which of the following statements is correct with respect to the bullet after it emerges out of the target?
