. A small balloon containing sand with a combined mass of 98.2gg is suspended with an ideal string of length 86.6cmcm, forming a simple pendulum. The pendulum is released from an angle of 41.4∘∘ with the vertical, and it collides with a block of mass 333gg located where the pendulum string becomes vertical. Because the balloon weighted with sand is soft and deformable, the collision is totally inelastic. The block slides for a distance of 30.8mmmm before coming to rest. a) Calculate the speed, in meters per second, of the sand-filled balloon at the instant prior to the collision. b) Calculate the speed, in meters per second, of the block at the instant following the collision.
