Two small heavy balls have the same diameter but one weighs twice as much as the other. The balls are dropped from a second-story balcony at the exact same time. The time to reach the ground below will be.
- (a) twice as long for the lighter ball as for the heavier one.
- (b) longer for the lighter ball, but not twice as long.
- (c) twice as long for the heavier ball as for the lighter one.
- (d) longer for the heavier ball, but not twice as long.
- (e) nearly the same for both balls.

- Hi, please show full solutions and also explain how you get the answers in physics terms so it's understandable. The correct final answers are written beside too. Thank you. 13. A ball of mass m, is stationary when a ball of mass 2m collides with it travelling with a speed of v. If the collision between the 2 balls is completely inelastic, show that the final velocity of the balls is 2/3 v.arrow_forwardNumber 9. Can you explain the process detailed on how to get the solution? I tried multiple times to solve this, but I am still not getting the correct answer.arrow_forwardDon’t answer these questions. Instead, draw a picture of the situation. Give names and labels to important pieces. Assign values to important pieces. Come up with an equation that relates pieces of the situation that might be helpful when answering the question. Don’t solve anything.2) A person is standing 350 ???? away from a model rocket that is fired straight up into the air at a rate of 15 ??/???.
