What is the equation to determine the radius R of the uniform sphere, given a spherical cavity is cut out and the center of mass of the remaining part is on the surface of the cavity?
What is the equation to determine the radius R of the uniform sphere, given a spherical cavity is cut out and the center of mass of the remaining part is on the surface of the cavity?
- $(R^2 - R - 1)(2 - R) = 1$
- $(R^2 + R + 1)(2 - R) = 1$ (correct)
- $(R^2 + R - 1)(2 - R) = 1$
- $(R^2 - R + 1)(2 - R) = 1$
When two particles, one dropped from a height h and another thrown vertically upwards from the ground with a speed of $2gh$, collide completely inelastically, what is the time taken for their combined mass to reach the ground, in units of h?
When two particles, one dropped from a height h and another thrown vertically upwards from the ground with a speed of $2gh$, collide completely inelastically, what is the time taken for their combined mass to reach the ground, in units of h?
- $\frac{5}{4}h$ (correct)
- $\frac{3}{4}h$
- $g$
- $\frac{3}{2}h$
