Answer:
h2 = 0.092m
Explanation:
From a balance of energy from point A to point B, we get speed before the collision:
Solving for Vb:
Since the collision is elastic, we now that velocity of bead 1 after the collision is given by:
Now, by doing another balance of energy from the instant after the collision, to the point where bead 1 stops, we get the distance it rises:
Solving for h2:
h2 = 0.092m
To solve this problem we will use the kinematic formula for the final velocity.
The final speed is 0 at the moment the player stops.
The time until it stops is 1.3 s
The initial speed is 200 feet / s Note (check the speed units in the problem statement, 200ft / s is very much and 200ft / h is very small)
Then, we clear the formula.
Because the player is slowing down, the acceleration goes in the opposite direction to the player's movement, and that is why it is negative.
To answer part b) we use the following formula.
