A 1.6-kg ball is attached to the end of a 0.40-m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string horizontal. At the lowest point of its swing, when it is moving horizontally, the ball collides with a 0.80-kg block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. The speed of the block just after the collision is 3.0 m/s. What is the speed of the ball just
after the collision?
a. 1.7 m/s
b. 1.1 m/s
c. 1.5 m/s
d. 1.3 m/s
e. 2.1 m/s
d
