Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Center of Mass and Linear Momentum: Problem 54
54 A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axis. Just before the collision, one ball, of mass 3.0 kg, is moving upward at 20 m/s and the other ball, of mass 2.0 kg, is moving downward at 10 m/s. How high do the combined two balls of putty rise above the collision point? (Neglect air drag.)
