Asmall rubber ball is thrown at a heavier, larger basketball that is still. the small ball bounces off the basketball. assume there are no outside forces acting on the balls.
a. how does the force on the small ball compare to the force on the basketball?
b. compare the total momentum of the two balls before and after the collision?
c. the mass of the basketball is 600 grams and its velocity before the small ball hits is 0 m/s. the mass of the small ball is 100 grams and its velocity is +5 m/s before the collision and -4 m/s afterward. what is the velocity of the basketball after the collision?

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1d. a particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = l. the potential energy function is given as (a) describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions). (b) solve the schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, en. (c) what are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? how did you decide on that? (d) what is the de broglie wavelength for the ground state? (e) sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs. (f) in a transition between the energy levels above, which transition produces the longest wavelength λ for the emitted photon? what is the corresponding wavele
