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

<h2>Diagonal of circle </h2>

Explanation:

As the skateboarder wants to cross the play ground . The surface is rough .

As we know , the force of friction is non-conservative force . Thus work is required against this force .

We have formula:

work done = Force x distance (in one direction )

Te force applied cannot be changed , so he is to decrease the distance .

In case of circle , diameter is the minimum distance . Thus he is supposed to move along it .

How does nuclear fusion produce energy
prisoha [69]
The fusion reaction that is easiest to accomplish is the reaction between two hydrogen isotopes: deuterium, extracted from water and tritium, produced during the fusion reaction through contact with lithium. When deuterium and tritium nuclei fuse, they form a helium nucleus, a neutron and a lot of energy.

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. Complete the following statemen
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4

Explanation:

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{R}

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"

It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,

R' = R/4

New centripetal acceleration will be,

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R'}

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R/4}

a'=4\times \dfrac{v^2}{R}

a'=4\times a

So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.

The displacement vector A and B when added together , give the resultant vector R so that R= A+B use the data in the drawing and
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The addition of vectors involve both magnitude and direction. In this case, we make use of a triangle to visualize the problem. The length of two sides were given while the measure of the angle between the two sides can be derived. We then assign variables for each of the given quantities.

Let:

b = length of one side = 8 m
c = length of one side = 6 m
A = angle between b and c = 90°-25° = 75°

We then use the cosine law to find the length of the unknown side. The cosine law results to the formula: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2*b*c*cos(A). Substituting the values, we then have: a = sqrt[(8)^2 + (6)^2 -2(8)(6)cos(75°)]. Finally, we have a = 8.6691 m.

Next, we make use of the sine law to get the angle, B, which is opposite to the side B. The sine law results to the formula: sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b and consequently, sin(75)/8.6691 = sin(B)/8. We then get B = 63.0464°. However, the direction of the resultant vector is given by the angle Θ which is Θ = 90° - 63.0464° = 26.9536°.

In summary, the resultant vector has a magnitude of 8.6691 m and it makes an angle equal to 26.9536° with the x-axis.
