The mass of ball a is twice the mass of ball b:
m_a = 2 m_b
This means that the initial potential energy of ball a (U_a = m_a gh=2 m_b gh) is twice the potential energy of ball b (U_b = m_b  g h):
U_a = 2 U_b
When the two balls reach the ground, the potential energy of each ball has converted into kinetic energy (since now their altitude is h=0), because the total mechanical energy of each ball must be  conserved. Therefore:
K_a = U_a
K_b = U_b
and so the kinetic energy of ball a must be twice the kinetic energy of ball b:
K_a = 2 K_b

2. An electron and a proton are separated by 5 cm:
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

a) the charge of an electron is equivalent to the magnitude of the elementary charge but barring a negative sign since the side of the elementary charge is roughly 1.602 * 10 - 19 Columbus then the charge of the electronic is-1.602 * 10 - 19

b) b=2T on the electron moving in the magnetic field

Each ball has a negligible size and a mass of 11.5 kg and is attached to the end of a rod whose mass may be neglected. The rod i
Digiron [165]

Answer:

3.31m/s

Explanation:

Angular momentum for 3s is

L = L_i_n_i + L_3_s

L = 2(11.5kg) + \int\limits^ {3s}_ {0s} {(t^2 + 2)} \, dt

L = 23kg+(\frac{t^3}{3} +2t)^ {3s}_ {0s}\\\\L=38kgm/s

Moment if inertia is

I = 2ml^2

I = 2(11.5)(0.5)^2\\\\I=5.75kgm^2

Angular speed

ω = L/I

= 38 / 5.75\\\\=6.61

The speed of each ball is

V = ωL

= 6.61\times0.5\\\\= 3.31m/s
