A baseball of mass m1 = 0.41 kg is thrown at another ball hanging from the ceiling by a length of string L = 1.35 m. The second ball m2 = 0.99 kg is initially at rest while the baseball has an initial horizontal velocity of V1 = 4.5 m/s. After the collision the first baseball falls straight down (no horizontal velocity).

A baseball of mass m1 = 0.41 kg is thrown at another ball hanging from the ceiling by a length of string L = 1.35 m. The second ball m2 = 0.99 kg is initially at rest while the baseball has an initial horizontal velocity of V1 = 4.5 m/s. After the collision the first baseball falls straight down (no horizontal velocity).

Randomized Variables

m1 = 0.41 kg
m2 = 0.99 kg
L = 1.35 m
V1 = 4.5 m/s

What is the angle that the string makes with the vertical at the highest point of travel in degrees? (theta = ?)
