Pendulum mass m released from stop h above bottom of arc.
within plane
m hits M at bottom of arc.--how high does m+M go?
Perfectly inelastic collision.
Kinetic energy is not conserved--work is done (deformation, noise, temp etc)
but momentum is conserved.
how is this possible?
If there is loss of energy, how can momentum be conserved?
What am I missing?
