**Problem Statement:**Two balls collide on a pool table. The larger ball of mass 2 kg experiences an acceleration of magnitude 5 m/s² during the collision. What is the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by the smaller ball (mass 0.5 kg) during the collision?**Options:**A) 10 m/s² B) 1.25 m/s² C) 5 m/s² D) 2.5 m/s² E) 20 m/s² **Solution Explanation:**To solve this problem, we use Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that force \( (F) \) equals mass \( (m) \) multiplied by acceleration \( (a) \), i.e., \( F = ma \).1. **Calculate the Force on the Larger Ball:** Given the mass of the larger ball is 2 kg and its acceleration is 5 m/s²: \[ F = 2 \, \text{kg} \times 5 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 10 \, \text{N} \]2. **Calculate the Acceleration of the Smaller Ball:** Since the same force acts on both balls, use \( F = ma \) to find the acceleration of the smaller ball. For a smaller ball of mass 0.5 kg: \[ 10 \, \text{N} = 0.5 \, \text{kg} \times a \] Solving for \( a \): \[ a = \frac{10 \, \text{N}}{0.5 \, \text{kg}} = 20 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]**Correct Answer:** E) 20 m/s²

(Please include diagram or drawing) Two clay meteors, each with a mass m, collide in outer space and stick together. This collision occurs at a distance D from the center of the Earth. Following the collision, the combined meteors move towards the Earth. Before the collision: Meteor 1 has a velocity v1. Meteor 2 has a velocity v2. The velocities V1 and v2 are at right angles to each other. a) Calculate the fraction of kinetic energy lost during the collision of the two meteors. b) Determine the velocity of the stuck-together meteors just before they crash into the Earth assuming you know the mass and radius of earth. Air resistance can be neglected.
