Question

Problem 33P

IP A 0,420-kg block of wood hangs from the ceiling by a string, and a 0.0750-kg wad of putty is thrown straight upward, striking the bottom of the block with a speed of 5.74 m/s. The wad of putty sticks to the block. (a) Is the mechanical energy of this system conserved? (b) How high does the putty-block system rise above the original position of the block?

Solution

Step 1 of 4:

In this question, we need to check if the mechanical energy of the system is conserved

In part b, we need to find height reached by the putty block system from the original position of the block

Data given

Mass of wood block

Mass of putty

Initial velocity of putty
