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

Which of the following statements about insulating materials is correct?a.Insulators can be used to increase the amount of curre
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a.Insulators can be used to increase the amount of current that can flow through a resistor without increasing its temperature.

Explanation:

A conductor has low resistance, while an insulator has much higher resistance. Devices called resistors control amounts of resistance into an electrical circuits. Electric charges inside an insulator are bound to the individual atoms or molecules, not being able to move inside the material.

When you turn up the resistance, the electric current flowing through the circuit is reduced

Ohm's law:

V = I * R

R = V/I

An Ohmic conductor would have a linear relationship between the current and the voltage. With non-Ohmic conductors, the relationship is not linear. Most metals are good conductors example silver, copper etc.

All atoms of the element potassium have 19 protons. One of the most stable types of potassium atoms has the mass number 39. How
ozzi
The formular for determinatio of mass number is this:
Mass number = number of proton + number of neutron
From the question, we are told that:
Mass number = 39
Proton number = 19
Number of proton = ?
Number of neutron = mass number -  number of proton
Number of neutron= 39 - 19 = 20
Therefore, number of neurtron = 20.
