6.) A 'Newton's Cradle' consists of 7 identical metal balls which are free to swing back and forth. When two are pulled back and then released, they stop after colliding elastically with the other 5 balls. The two balls on the other end then swing upwards with the same speed as the first two balls. Using the conservation of momentum and mechanical energy, explain why only two balls move afterwards. Use words and/or equations to explain your answer.

A novelty collision device known as the executive toy consists
of five identical metal balls. When one ball swings in, after
multiple collisions, one ball swings out at the other end of the
row of balls. When two balls swing in, two swing out; when three
swing in, three swing out, and so on-always the same number out as
in. Suppose that one ball, with mass m, swing in and collide with
the next ball with a velocity v. Why...

There are 7 balls in a bag. They are identical except for color.
3 are red, 2 are white and 2 are blue. You are to draw 1 ball from
the bag, note its color, and set it aside. Then you are to draw a
second ball from the bag and note its color.

An urn contains 6 red balls, 7 white balls, and 8 blue
balls.
a) If three balls are sampled without replacement, find
probability that all are different colors
b) If three balls are sampled with replacement, find the
probability that are different colors.
c) i n balls sampled with replacement, find probability that all
are red.
d) If nballs sampled with replacement, find the probability that
all are the same color.

Consider an urn containing 3 red balls, 5 yellow balls, 7 blue
balls, and 6 violet balls. If 4 balls are drawn at random, what is
the probability of drawing one of each color?
Suppose we draw 8 balls from the urn above. What is the
conditional probability that 4 of them are blue with respect to the
event that none of them are yellow?

An urn contains 4 white balls and 6 red balls. A second urn
contains 7 white balls and 3 red balls. An urn is selected, and the
probability of selecting the first urn is 0.1. A ball is drawn from
the selected urn and replaced. Then another ball is drawn and
replaced from the same urn. If both balls are white, what are the
following probabilities? (Round your answers to three decimal
places.)
- (a) the probability that the urn...
