Question

can you solve part (a) & (b)?

 

Problem 4: A 15.9 g ball is moving at 27.2 m/s to the right as shown. It
|collides with a 499 g sphere of clay that is suspended from a string. The ball sticks in
the clay and the two of them swing on the string until they reach a maximum height h.

Step 1

Let's use the conservation of momentum to find the final velocity of the two masses,

Initial momentum = Final momentum

mv1=(m+M)v2v2=mv1(m+M)m=15.9×10-3 kg, v1=27.2 m/s,M=499×10-3kg =15.9×10-3 kg×27.2 m/s15.9×10-3 kg+499×10-3kg v2=0.84 m/s

Step 2

The kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy.

12m+Mv22=m+Mgh12v22=ghv222g=h=0.8422×9.8h=0.036 m=3.6×10-2m
