Marble A was released at a certain height of the ramp and hit Marble B on the horizontal end of the ramp. Both Marbles A and B weighs 5 grams. The horizontal distances covered by marbles A and B after the collision are 5 cm and 35 cm, respectively. The elevation from the edge of the ramp to the ground is 15cm. Assuming that energy and momentum are conserved, what is initial potential energy (in erg; erg = dyne.cm) of Marble A? Use g=980cm/s2. Round off your answer to two decimal places. Answer correctly, thank you.
