Step 1: Before the collision, the total momentum is pbefore = mv0 + 0 where m is the ball’s mass and v0 is the ball’s speed. The pendulum is not moving so its contribution to the total momentum is zero. After the collision, the total momentum is pafter = (m + M) V, where m is the ball’s mass, M is the pendulum mass, and V is the velocity of the pendulum with the ball stuck inside (see the picture...
