**Title: Conservation of Energy and Momentum in Collisions**

**Scenario:**
A 0.450 kg ball of Play-Doh hangs from the ceiling by a string. A 0.0850 kg wad of Play-Doh is thrown straight upward from below the ball and strikes the ball with a speed of 5.60 m/s and sticks to it.

**Question (a):**
*Is the mechanical energy of this system conserved?*

- **Answer:** No (indicated by a selected option with a check mark).

**Question (b):**
*How high (in cm) does the combined mass of Play-Doh rise above the original position of the ball of Play-Doh?*

- **Explanation:**
Since the collision takes place over a very short time interval, we may conserve linear momentum to obtain the speed of the combined mass right after the collision. By knowing the speed of the combined mass the instant after the collision, use your knowledge of kinematics to determine how high the combined mass rises above the original position.

- **Input Field:** A text box is provided for the answer with an incorrect input indicated by a red 'X'. The response instructs to calculate using kinematics.

This exercise explores the concepts of conservation of momentum and energy in a system involving an inelastic collision.
