Think of a Newtonian cradle made of only two marbles. These two marbles of masses m1 and m2 are each suspended by identical strings. The strings are initially both vertical so the marbles are touching each other when undisturbed. The marble with m1 is shifted away from the initial position until is reaching the height h1 while the length of the string does not change and then is set free to fall and collide with marble m2. What is the formula for the height which both marbles will reach after the collision if: a). The collision is elastic; b). The collision is inelastic; (c). What will be the heat developed during the collision in both cases?Hint: when the marbles collide, all vectors velocity are orientated along the same axis.

Two masses, m1 and m2, are falling but not freely. In addition to gravity, there is also a force F1 applied directly to m1 in the downward direction and a force F2 applied directly to m2 in the horizontal direction. Friction (µs) is present between the two masses and the forces are applied such that they do not rotate. The force F2 is as large as it can be and not have m2 slide relative to m1. (a) Find an...

Two pendulums have the same length but different masses. If m1 is released from the position shown in the figure on the right, how high would the masses reach after the collision (a) assuming a perfectly inelastic collision, and (b) perfectly elastic collision. Use m1(green) = 100g, m2 (purple) = 150g, and angle = 40 degrees, Length 1 & 2 = 0.5 m.
