The vector position of a 3.50-g particle moving in the xy plane varies in time according to r1=(3i+3j)t+2jt2, where t is in seconds and r is in centimeters. At the same time, the vector position of a 5.50 g particle varies as r2=3i2it26jt.

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, falling through a distance of 1.20 m, as shown in Figure P6.45. (a) Find the magnitude of the basketballs velocity the instant before the basketball reaches the ground. (b) Assume that an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball so that it collides with the tennis ball just above it. To what height does the tennis ball rebound? Figure P6.45
