Finding velocity after collision if you know mass and height. Help!
A 50 gram ball enters a a pendulum with mass 200 g. The pair then swings up to a height of 11 cm.
find the velocity immediately after the collision? Then find initial velocity of ball before collision.
Vf= square root of 2gh.
Used above equation and got 14.7 which proved incorrect. Any help would be nice! Thanks!
