Height of Pendulum Homework: A&B Answered, C&D Yet to Solve

In summary, two spheres with masses of 51 g and 82 g, respectively, are arranged in such a way that sphere 1 is initially at a height of 10 cm and released to collide elastically with sphere 2. After the collision, the heights reached by sphere 1 and sphere 2 are determined using the equations v=sqrt(2gh) and v1^2/2g=H1. However, the question remains on how to find the heights reached after the next elastic collision.

Homework Statement


In the two-sphere arrangement of Figure, assume that sphere 1 has a mass of 51 g and an initial height of 10 cm, and that sphere 2 has a mass of 82 g. After sphere 1 is released and collides elastically with sphere 2, what height is reached by (a) sphere 1 and (b) sphere 2? After the next (elastic) collision, what height is reached by (c) sphere 1 and (d) sphere 2?

I found A and B but not sure how to find c and d?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution



Sqrt(2gh)= v

((m1-m2)/(m1+m2))v=v1
(v1^2)/(2g)=H1

[/B]
