Question
A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axis.Just before the collision,one ball,of mass 3.0 kg,is moving up- ward at 20 m/s and the other ball, of mass 2.0 kg, is moving down- ward at 12 m/s. How high do the combined two balls of putty rise above the collision point

Answer:
Explanation:
Given data
Ball one
mass m₁=3.0kg
velocity v₁=20 m/s
Ball second
mass m₂=2.0 kg
velocity v₂=12 m/s
First we need the speed of combined ball.Since the system conserves the linear momentum
So the combined velocity vt is:
Since the two balls 1 and 2 are moving in opposite direction
So
Substitute the given values
We have the equation for motion with constant acceleration is given by:
At initial position y₀=0 and vt=v-v₀
So
