Consider a system consisting of two 10 grams little balls of putty at 25 degrees Celsius. Initially one putty ball is at rest and the other is traveling at a velocity of 1. The moving ball strikes the stationary one head-on and makes a perfectly inelastic collision (they stick together). Neglecting any energy transfer to the surroundings calculate the entropy change in the system due to the collision
