Answer:
Velocity = 4.33[m/s]
Explanation:
The total energy or mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy, as it is known the velocity and the height, we can determine the total energy.
All this energy will become kinetic energy and we can find the velocity.
Answer:
h’ = 1/9 h
Explanation:
This exercise must be solved in parts:
* Let's start by finding the speed of sphere B at the lowest point, let's use the concepts of conservation of energy
starting point. Higher
Em₀ = U = m g h
final point. Lower, just before the crash
Em_f = K = ½ m
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
m g h = ½ m v²
v_b =
* Now let's analyze the collision of the two spheres. We form a system formed by the two spheres, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved
initial instant. Just before the crash
p₀ = 2m 0 + m v_b
final instant. Right after the crash
p_f = (2m + m) v
the moment is preserved
p₀ = p_f
m v_b = 3m v
v = v_b / 3
v = ⅓
* finally we analyze the movement after the crash. Let's use the conservation of energy to the system formed by the two spheres stuck together
Starting point. Lower
Em₀ = K = ½ 3m v²
Final point. Higher
Em_f = U = (3m) g h'
Em₀ = Em_f
½ 3m v² = 3m g h’
we substitute
h’=
h’ =
h’ = 1/9 h
