Question
If instead the collision is completely inelastic, calculate the max angle in degrees reached after collision

Transcribed Image Text:**Pendulum System Analysis**
In this scenario, we have two pendulums:
- **Pendulum 1**:
- Mass (\(m_1\)) = 1.78 kg
- Released from rest at an angle (\(\theta\)) = 38.9 degrees
- **Pendulum 2**:
- Mass (\(m_2\)) = 4.44 kg
Both pendulums have the same string length (\(L\)) of 0.767 meters.
### Description of Event
- **Initial Condition**: Pendulum 1 starts from rest at an angle of 38.9 degrees.
- **Collision**: At the lowest part of its swing, Pendulum 1 collides elastically with Pendulum 2.
### Diagram Explanation
The accompanying diagram illustrates the following:
- **Pendulum 1 (\(m_1\))** is shown at an initial angle (\(\theta\)) of 38.9 degrees, with an arrow indicating its direction of motion.
- **Pendulum 2 (\(m_2\))** is positioned vertically, and will interact with Pendulum 1 during the elastic collision.
This setup is commonly used to demonstrate the principles of conservation of energy and momentum in physics.
