Question

A tennis ball with (small) mass $$m_2$$ rests on the top of a basketball of mass $$m_1$$ which is at a height h above the ground, and the bottom of the tennis ball is at heihgt $$h+d$$ above the ground. The balls are dropped. To what height does the tennis ball bounce with respect to ground? (Assume all collisions to be elastic and $$m_1 > > m_2$$).

Q3
A tennis ball of mass $$57.0\ g$$ is held just above a basketball of mass $$590\ g$$. With their centers vertically aligned, both balls are released from rest at the same time, to fall through a distance of $$1.20\ m$$, as shown in Figure $$P9.29$$.
Assume that an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball while the tennis ball is still moving down. Next, the two balls meet in an elastic collision. To what height does the tennis ball rebound?
