The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
= (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)
= (1 kg) (2.25 m²/s²)
= 2.25 joules.
Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:
Energy is never created or destroyed.
If it seems that some energy disappeared,
it actually had to go somewhere.
And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
it actually had to come from somewhere.
The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision. The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.
A graph of real speed can have a section that's as steep as you want,
but it can never be a perfectly vertical section.
Any vertical line on a graph, even it it's only a tiny tiny section, means
that at that moment in time, the speed had many different values.
It also means that the speed took no time to change from one value to
another, and THAT would mean infinite acceleration.
Answer:
Leaves are the primary source of photosynthesis. Leaves are also have a vital function in plant processes like transpiration and guttation. I hope it helps:)
