Problem 20MCQ
Two balls are hung from cords. The first ball, of mass 1.0 kg, is pulled to the side and released, reaching a speed of 2.0 m/s at the bottom of its arc. Then, as shown in Figure Q9.20, it hits and sticks to another ball. The speed of the pair just after the collision is 1.2 m/s. What is the mass of the second ball?
A. 0.67 kg
B. 2.0 kg
C. 1.7 kg
D. 1.0 kg
Solution
