Study Notes
Kinetic Energy and Speed Ratio
- Kinetic Energy Formula: KE = (1/2) * m * v² (where KE is kinetic energy, m is mass, and v is velocity)
Ball A and Ball B Properties
- Ball A's mass is half of Ball B's mass (mA = 0.5 * mB)
- Ball A's kinetic energy is 8 times Ball B's kinetic energy (KEA = 8 * KEB)
Calculating the Speed Ratio (vA/vB)
- Equations for Ball A and Ball B:
- KEA = (1/2) * mA * vA²
- KEB = (1/2) * mB * vB²
- Relationship between KEA and KEB:
- KEA = 8 * KEB
- Substituting and simplifying:
- (1/2) * mA * vA² = 8 * (1/2) * mB * vB²
- mA * vA² = 8 * mB * vB²
- Substituting mA = 0.5 * mB:
- (0.5 * mB) * vA² = 8 * mB * vB²
- Simplifying further (assuming mB ≠0):
- 0.5 * vA² = 8 * vB²
- vA² = 16 * vB²
- Taking the square root of both sides:
- vA = 4 * vB
- Ratio of speeds:
- vA/vB = 4
