1. A pendulum bob of mass m is released from a height H above the lowest point. It collides at the lowest point with another pendulum of the same length but with a bob of mass 2m initially at rest. Find the heights to which the bobs rise given that the collision is (A) Completely Inelastic...

Thanks! Once again, I'm left feeling dumb after such a simple solution.

1. A particle of mass m1 = 2 kg moving at speed u1 makes a one-dimensional completely inelastic collision with a particle of mass m2 = 3 kg, intially at rest. If 60 J of kinetic energy are lost, find u1? 2. Conservation of linear momentum: m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2 3. Using the conservation...
