Two balls are placed, one above the other, and dropped from a height of 1.05 m. The bottom ball has a mass which is 6 times the mass of the top ball. They are dropped from rest. When the balls strike the floor, they have a head on, elastic collision with one another. (Assume that the bottom ball strikes the floor, instantly reverses direction, and then collides with the top ball, which is still travelling downward.) How high will the...

You are letting 540 g of silly putty fall from rest from your dorm room window located 35.0 m above ground level. Your friend in the dorm across the street is observing the situation and throws a 270 g baseball from his window trying to hit your piece of silly putty. His throw is formidable and hits the silly putty right when it is halfway to the ground, and when the baseball is moving horizontally at 15.0 m/s. Baseball and...

You throw a ball vertically upward with an initial velocity of 10 m/s from a window located 20 m above the ground. Knowing that the acceleration of the ball is constant and equal to 9.81 m/s^2 downward (this makes for negative acceleration as upward motion is positive and downward motion is negative and gravity pulls downward), determine: (a) The acceleration at t = 2 s (b) The equation for velocity (Because you are looking for an equation for velocity, you...
