A small ball of mass m is dropped immediately behind a large one of mass M from a height h mach larger then the size of the ball

s. What is the relationship between m and M if the large ball stops at the floor? Under this condition, how high does the small ball rise? Assume the balls are perfectly elastic and use an independent collision model in which the large ball collides elastically with the floor and returns to strike the small ball in a second collision that is elastic and independent from the first.

Answer:

a)   (M / m -1), b)   h_{f} = h (M / m -1)²

Explanation:

For this exercise we will begin by looking for the speed of the balls when they reach the floor, for this we use the concepts of energy conservation

Initial. Highest point

      Em₀ = U = m g h

Final. Floor

      Em_{f} } = K = ½ m v²

      Em₀ =  Em_{f} }

      m gh = ½ m v²

      v = √ 2g h

The speed is the same for the two balls since it does not depend on the mass.

First shock

The heaviest ball (M) with the floor, as the floor does not move the ball bounces with the same speed as it arrives, but in the opposite direction

Second shock

Between the large ball with velocity upwards of value v and the small ball of mass (m) with velocity v downwards. Let's use the moment

Initial. Before the crash

         p₀ = Mv - m v

After the crash

        p_{f} = 0 + m v_{f}

        p₀ = p_{f}

        Mv - m v = m v_{f}

       v_{f} = (M-m) / m v

        v_{f}= (M / m -1) v

Let's look with energy to where e raises the small ball with speed vf

      Em₀ = Em_{f}

       ½ m vf² = m g h_{f}

       h_{f} = ½ v_{f}² / g

       h_{f} = ½ v² / g (M / m-1)²

We substitute in value of v

       h_{f} = ½ 2gh / g (M / m -1)²

       h_{f} = h (M / m -1)²

In your own words, explain the relationship between distance and time
ExtremeBDS [4]
If the distance is in km and time is in hours, then the speed is km/hr.

If the distance is in m and the time is in seconds, then the speed is m/sec.

Which force makes an object free fall?
LenaWriter [7]
Gravity

Explanation: ree fall is a special type of motion in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity. Objects that are said to be undergoing free fall, are not encountering a significant force of air resistance; they are falling under the sole influence of gravity.

A 10- kilogram box is at static equilibrium and the downward pull of gravity acting on the box is 98 Newton's what is the minimu
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Explanation:

Now

Look at it this way. This box is in equilibrium... Meaning forces around balanced out.

Now...

The Earth's pull on it is 98N

What Minimum external forces is needed to pick this up....

Now... The Minimum Force is 98N

Why?

Since This Box is under the influence of gravity...

Gravity is acting as a resistance

If you apply a force less than 98N... Let's say 50N on this box... It won't budge because your applied force is less than the resisting force on it(98N).

So We need a force ≥98. So the least force is 98N. Nothing below this will move the Box

Answer 98N.
