Two balls of clay known masses hang from the ceiling on masslessstrings of equal length. They barely touch when both hang atrest. One ball is pulled back until its string is45o, the released. It swings down, collides withthe second ball, and they stick together. To determine theangle to which the balls wing to the opposite side, you need toinvoke:
A. Conservation of momentum
B. Conservation of mechanicalenergy
C. Both conservation of momentum andconservation of mechanical energy
D. Either, but not both.
E. These principles alone are not sufficientto find the angle
