A 3kg ball slides horizontally to the right on a frictionless surface with a speed of 4.5 m/s. The ball hits a pendulum and sticks to it. The pendulum has a length, L, of 0.6m and pendulum and ball swing to a maximum angle, θ, of 32.3⁰ with the vertical. Answer the following: What is the total momentum just before the collision? (kg•m/s)
What is the total momentum just after the collision? (kg•m/s)
What is the maximum height above the collision point that the pendulum and ball attain? (m)
What is the speed of the ball and pendulum just after the ball sticks to it? (positive number) (m/s)
What is the mass of the pendulum?
