(a) One particle has mass m and a second particle has mass 2m.
The second particle is moving with
speed v and the first with speed 2v. How do their kinetic energies
compare?
(b) A person drops a pebble of mass m1 from a height h, and it hits
the floor with kinetic energy K.
The person drops another pebble of mass m2 from a height of 2h, and
it hits the floor with the same
kinetic energy K. How do the masses of the pebbles compare?

An object of mass m1 approaches with velocity v1 another object
of mass m2, which is at rest, next to a spring having force
constant k. The spring is fixed to a wall and m2 can compress the
spring. This is one-dim horizontal collision without friction. We
consider two collision scenarios, one which is perfectly inelastic,
and the other which is elastic. (a) In the first collision case the
object m1 strikes m2 and sticks. Moving together, they compress the...
