Two balls of equal size are dropped from the same height from the roof of a building. the mass of ball a is twice that of ball b
2 answers:
The mass of ball a is twice the mass of ball b:
This means that the initial potential energy of ball a (
) is twice the potential energy of ball 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:
and so the kinetic energy of ball a must be twice the kinetic energy of ball b:

I am attaching the rest of your question so it makes sense,

Since lasers are made from stacking light waves that add together into a larger wave due to CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE.
</span>
Then, <span>light waves have that constructive interference (from question #1) because they are emitted IN PHASE with each other.
This means that they arrive at the same point of space with the same characteristics and their effects do not cancel each other, but the opposite, their intensity increases.</span>
