@Lilly_22100 Don't know, but my guess would be the spring would collapse and all of the elastic potential energy stored in the expanded spring would transfer into increased downward force .
@TonyBur87179224@itsmyfeelingss_@Lilly_22100 Indeed,is there energy transferred from the spring to the ball... ?
I wonder whether this causes additional acceleration when the spring contracts toward the ball? In this case, it is likely that energy is transferred.
@itsmyfeelingss_@Lilly_22100 A - because the recompressing spring would add to the downward force of gravity slapping A downward - B would just fall under gravity.
Isn't the energy in A, Ball+spring; while that in B, is ball only.
Please help me if i'm wrong.
The 7-15-20 triangle has perimeter and area both of numerical value 42.
If x, y, z are the three altitudes of the triangle, prove that 1/x + 1/y + 1/z equals the nice rational number 1/2.
@jamestanton Odd perimeters give more Δ pairs than even ones.
Because the Δ inequality a < P/2 allows more integer solutions when P is odd with no half-integer symmetry to restrict combinations.
Today's Puzzle:
There are 4 triangles with integer side lengths of perimeter 11, but only 3 of perimeter 12.
Is the count of integer triangles of perimeter 2N always greater than the count of integer triangles of perimeter 2N+1?
