Multiple Balls Bouncing
Classical Mechanics
Level
1
A small ball is placed on top of a bigger, heavier ball at a height of \(10 \text{ m}\) above the ground.
When the balls are simultaneously released and bounce, how high will the smaller ball bounce up to?
Assumptions:
- All collisions are perfectly elastic, which means no kinetic energy is lost in the collisions.
- Air resistance is negligible.
