Think of a Newtonian cradle made of only two marbles. These twomarbles of masses m1 and m2 are each suspended by identicalstrings. The strings are initially both vertical so the marbles aretouching each other when undisturbed. The marble with m1 is shiftedaway from the initial position until is reaching the height h1while the length of the string does not change and then is set freeto fall and collide with marble m2. What is the formula for theheight which both marbles will reach after the collision if: a).The collision is elastic; b). The collision is inelastic; (c). Whatwill be the heat developed during the collision in both cases?Hint:when the marbles collide, all vectors velocity are orientated alongthe same axis.
