Answer:
θ = 12.95º
Explanation:
For this exercise it is best to separate the process into two parts, one where they collide and another where the system moves altar the maximum height
Let's start by finding the speed of the bar plus clay ball system, using amount of momentum
The mass of the bar (M = 0.080 kg) and the mass of the clay ball (m = 0.015 kg) with speed (v₀ = 2.0 m / s)
Initial before the crash
p₀ = m v₀
Final after the crash before starting the movement
= (m + M) v
p₀ = 
m v₀ = (m + M) v
v = v₀ m / (m + M)
v = 2.0 0.015 / (0.015 +0.080)
v = 0.316 m / s
With this speed the clay plus bar system comes out, let's use the concept of conservation of mechanical energy
Lower
Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²
Higher
= U = (m + M) g y
Em₀ = 
½ (m + M) v² = (m + M) g y
y = ½ v² / g
y = ½ 0.316² / 9.8
y = 0.00509 m
Let's look for the angle the height from the pivot point is
L = 0.40 / 2 = 0.20 cm
The distance that went up is
y = L - L cos θ
cos θ = (L-y) / L
θ = cos⁻¹ (L-y) / L
θ = cos⁻¹-1 ((0.20 - 0.00509) /0.20)
θ = 12.95º
To solve this you must set up what is called a proportion. A proportion is a way of comparing two comparing values where one of the four values is missing. In your problem the missing value is the height of the smallest tree in the model.
To set up a proportion, you need all of your values. The easiest way to do this is to list them:
Highest tree in real life: 40ft
Highest tree in model: 10ft
Smallest tree in real life: 4ft
Smallest tree in model: x
So know you can set your proportion like this:
40/4 = 4/x
(When setting up a proportion, you always want to have the values belong to each other. For example don't put the height of the small tree in the model underneath the value of the highest tree in real life.)
So know to find what the x values equals, we need to cross multiply. And then all that's left after that is to solve for x.
40 times x = 4 times 4
40x = 16
x = 2.5
The smallest tree in the model should equal 2.5 feet.
Hope this helps! :)
