Thank you very much.
Linear momentum is also conserved.
So i get two equations and two unknowns and a very ugly quadratic equation jumps out of there. Should i solve it or am i wasting my time? This looks like a very simple problem and I'm just making it more complex...
Homework Statement
Hi everyone. Hope I'm not breaking any forum rules, because I've alread wrote this one in another thread by mistake. Here is where it should be.
Two balls of different mass are dropped one in top of the other, with the light one on top. After they collide with the floor...
I'm having a problem with this problem:
Two balls of different mass are dropped one in top of the other, more precisely the one with the smaller mass on top.
How can i figure out the velocity of both balls after the collision with the ground?
I know this is a very trivial linear momentum...
