Two steel balls, of masses m1=1.00 kg and m2=2.00 kg, respectively, are hung from the ceiling with light strings next to each ot

her. If m1 is pulled up and released from rest at a height of 1.00 m, what are the maximum heights achieved by (a) m1 and (b) m2 after an elastic collision?

Answer:

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball, m₁ is 0.11 m

(a) The maximum height achieved by the second ball, m₂ ball is 0.44 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 1 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 2 kg

The velocity of the first when released from a height of 1 m before collision;

u₁² = u₀² + 2gh

u₀ = 0, since it was released from rest

u₁² =  2gh

u₁² = 2 x 9.8 x 1

u₁² = 19.6

u₁ = √19.6

u₁ = 4.427 m/s

The velocity of the second ball before collision, u₂ = 0

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum, to determine the velocity of the balls after an elastic collision.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

v₁ is the final velocity of the first ball after an elastic collision

v₂ is the final velocity of the second ball after an elastic collision

m₁u₁ + m₂(0) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁u₁ =  m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

1 x 4.427 = v₁ + 2v₂

v₁ + 2v₂ = 4.427

v₁  = 4.427 - 2v₂  ----- equation (1)

one directional velocity;

u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂

u₂ = 0

u₁ + v₁ = v₂

v₁ = v₂ - u₁

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427 ------ equation (2)

Substitute v₁ into equation (1)

v₂ - 4.427 = 4.427 - 2v₂

3v₂ = 4.427 + 4.427

3v₂  = 8.854

v₂ = 8.854 / 3

v₂  = 2.95 m/s (→ forward direction)

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427

v₁ = 2.95 - 4.427

v₁  = - 1.477 m/s

v₁  = 1.477 m/s ( ← backward direction)

Apply the law of conservation of mechanical energy

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball (v₁  = 1.477 m/s)

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  =  \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(1.477^2)\\\\ h_{max}  = 0.11 \ m

(b) The maximum height achieved by the second ball (v₂  = 2.95 m/s)

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  =  \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(2.95^2)\\\\ h_{max}  = 0.44 \ m

Economic growth can be illustrated by: a. ​ an inward shift of the production possibilities curve. b. ​ a movement along the pro
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Economic growth can be illustrated by:

d.  an outward shift of the production possibilities curve.

Explanation:

Economic growth is the process of increasing the economy's ability to produce goods and services. It is achieved by increasing the quantity or quality of resources.

Production Possibilities refers to the ability of a country to produce goods or services given the limited resources and technology.  It is therefore possible to increase production of both goods at the same time as long as resources allow it.

The Production Possibilities Curve, also known as the production possibilities frontier, is a graph that shows the maximum number of possible units a company can produce if it only produces two products using all of its resources efficiently. Firstly, and most commonly, growth is defined as an increase in the output that an economy produces over a period of time, the minimum being two consecutive quarters. An increase in an economy's productive potential can be shown by an outward shift in the economy's production possibility frontier (PPF).

Each point on the curve shows how much of each good will be produced when resources shift from making more of one good and less of the other. The curve measures the trade-off between producing one good versus another.PPC or production possibility curve is a curve whose basic purpose is to show the different possible combinations of two goods that can be produced within the given available resource.

The two main characteristics of PPC are: slopes downwards to the right: PPC slopes downwards from left to right. It is because in a situation of fuller utilization of the given resources, production of both the goods cannot be increased simultaneously.

State and prove bessel inequality​
maria [59]

Statement :- We assume the orthagonal sequence {{\{\phi\}}_{1}^{\infty}} in Hilbert space, now {\forall \sf \:v\in \mathbb{V}}, the Fourier coefficients are given by:

{\quad \qquad \longrightarrow \sf a_{i}=(v,{\phi}_{i})}

Then Bessel's inequality give us:

{\boxed{\displaystyle \bf \sum_{1}^{\infty}\vert a_{i}\vert^{2}\leqslant \Vert v\Vert^{2}}}

Proof :- We assume the following equation is true

{\quad \qquad \longrightarrow \displaystyle \sf v_{n}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_{i}{\phi}_{i}}

So that, {\bf v_n} is projection of {\bf v} onto the surface by the first {\bf n} of the {\bf \phi_{i}} . For any event, {\sf (v-v_{n})\perp v_{n}}

Now, by Pythagoras theorem:

{:\implies \quad \sf \Vert v\Vert^{2}=\Vert v-v_{n}\Vert^{2}+\Vert v_{n}\Vert^{2}}

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf ||v||^{2}=\Vert v-v_{n}\Vert^{2}+\sum_{i=1}^{n}\vert a_{i}\vert^{2}}

Now, we can deduce that from the above equation that;

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \sum_{i=1}^{n}\vert a_{i}  \vert^{2}\leqslant \Vert v\Vert^{2}}

For {\sf n\to \infty}, we have

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\displaystyle \bf \sum_{1}^{\infty}\vert a_{i}\vert^{2}\leqslant \Vert v\Vert^{2}}}

Hence, Proved
