Exercise 37

Consider two string-suspended balls, both with a mass of 0.15 kg. (Similar to the arrangement in Fig. 6.15, but with only two balls.)

(a) What is the speed of the ball just before hitting the stationary one (b) If the collision is completely inelastic, to what height do the balls swing
