HELLO THERE!
I’m trying to upload an image below, hope it reaches you:
So as in the above diagram (which you will see if it reaches you), we see that the radius of the sphere is h/2, since the height is h.
Now, we know, that if the radius is r, then velocity of any particle at the bottom is
Here,
so we get velocity of the moving particle at the bottom as:
So with this velocity, the moving particleof mass m strikes the particle at rest.
Applying Conservation of Linear Momemtum, we can calculate the equal final velocity, with which they move on!
Initial momentum = Final momentum (let their final velocity be v)
So, both the particles together move with the above velocity. With this,we can calculate the total height h’ to which the system of blocks rise:
HOPE THAT HELPS!
