The metal ball lost energy while the putty ball gained energy.
<h3>What is momentum?</h3>
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the body. We must note that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.
1) Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2mv^2 = 0.5 * 6 * 4 = 12 J
2) kinetic energy after collision = 0.5 * 6 * 2= 6 J
3) Kinetic energy of putty ball = 0.5 * 6 * 2= 6 J
4) Energy lost by the metal ball = 12 J - 6 J = 6 J
5) Energy gained by the putty ball = 6 J - 0J = 6 J
6) The rest of the energy was converted to heat after the collision.

Answer:
Explanation:
The net force exerted on the mass is the sum of tension force and the external force of gravity.
is the tension force.
is the force of gravity.
where 
is the rope's radius from the fixed point.
From the net force equation above:
Hence the tension force is 6.046N
It is a wedge because of the ramp thingy
