Answer:

We conclude that ball 2 has a larger mass.

Explanation:

This is because the internal forces at collision are an action reaction pair. The force on ball 1 due to ball 2 equals the force on ball 2 due to ball 1. Since these forces are equal in magnitude, let's denote it by F. So

For each ball, F = ma and a = F/m. Since F is the same for both balls, if follows that the acceleration of each ball is inversely proportional to its mass. That is, a ∝ 1/m.

Since ball 1 has a higher acceleration, it has a lower mass. Also ball 2 has a small acceleration, so it has a higher mass.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- Denote the following:

  mass of ball 1 = m1

  initial velocity of ball 1 = vi,1

  Final velocity of ball 1 = vf,1

  mass of ball 2 = m2

  initial velocity of ball 2 = vi,2

  Final velocity of ball 2 = vf,2

- Since there are no external forces acting on the system containing the two balls then we can say that the linear momentum of the system is conserved.

- The conservation of linear momentum says that the momentum before or after the collision remains conserved:

                                    Pi = Pf

Where,                        p = m*v

- The conservation of momentum for the given system:

                    m1*vi,1 + m2*vi,2 = m1*vi,1 + m2*vi,2  

- Since no information is given about the initial conditions. We will consider the internal force (F) that acts when two balls come in contact. Then apply Newton's second law of motion on both balls individually:

                                F = m*a

Where,             m: Mass of object

                        a: Acceleration of the object

- For ball 1:

                               F1 = m1*a1

- For ball 2:

                              F2 = m2*a2

Given that a1 > a2, and the the internal force that acts on both balls during collision obeys Newton's 3rd Law i.e for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction: So , F1 = F2

                             F = m1*a1

                             F = m2*a2

                             m1*a1 = m2*a2

- Since, a1 > a2 for above equation to hold true then m1 < m2. That is the mass of ball 1 is quite less compared to ball 2.

What is the magnitude of the change in potential energy of the block-spring system when it travels from its lowest vertical posi
maksim [4K]

Answer:

 ΔU = 2 mg h

Explanation:

In a spring mass system the potential energy is U = m g h

where h is measured from the equilibrium point of the spring

the potential energy at the highest point is

         U₁ = m g h

the potential energy at the lowest point is

         U₂ = m g (-h)

instead in this energy it is

          ΔU = 2 mg h

In this two points the kinetic energy is zero, but there is elastic potential energy that has the same value in the two points, so its change is zero

On a distant planet, a rock falls in 48.4 s from the top of a 1.10e+02 m cliff to the planet surface below. What is the accelera
pav-90 [236]

this can be solve using the formala of free fall

t = sqrt( 2y/ g)

where t is the time of fall

y is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity

48.4 s = sqrt (2 (1.10e+02 m)/ g)

G = 0.0930 m/s2

The velocity at impact

V = sqrt(2gy)

= sqrt( 2 ( 0.0930 m/s2)( 1.10e+02 m)

V = 4.523 m/s
