The final speed of the 15 stationary balls in a game of pool is determined as the ratio of inertia of the cue ball to total mass of the 15 balls.

<h3>Final speed of the 15 balls</h3>

The  final speed of the 15 balls can be determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as shown below;

J = ΔP

where;

  • J is inertia
  • ΔP is change in momentum

m1u1 + m0u0 = m1v1 + m0v0

where;

  • m1 is mass of the cue ball
  • m0 is mass of the 15 balls
  • u is initial velocity
  • v is final velocity

m1u1 - 0 = m1v1 + 15mv0

m1u1  - m1v1 = 15mv0 - 0

recall, m1u1  - m1v1  = ΔP = J

-m = 15m0v0

v0 = -m/15m0

where;

  • v0 is the final speed of the 15 balls
  • 15m0 is the total mass of the 15 balls
  • m is the inertia of the cue ball

Thus, the final speed of the 15 stationary balls in a game of pool is determined as the ratio of inertia of the cue ball to total mass of the 15 balls.

Hello!

\large\boxed{KE = 50J}

Use the formula for kinetic energy:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Plug in the given mass and velocity:

KE = \frac{1}{2} (4)5^{2}

Simplify:

KE = \frac{1}{2} (100)\\\\KE = 50 J

Two identical objects, A and B, are sitting on a table. If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10
sveta [45]

If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10 N, then object B will accelerate more quickly than object A provided the mass of both objects are same.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force applied on an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object. In order to state this law in terms of acceleration, it is stated that acceleration exhibited by any object is directly proportional to the net force applied on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object as shown below:

                      \text {Acceleration of the object } \propto \frac{\text {Net force on the object}}{\text {Mass of the object}}

So if two objects A and B are identical which means they have same mass, then the acceleration attained by the object will be directly proportionate to the net forces exerted on the objects only.

Thus if the force applied is more for one object, then the object will be exhibiting more acceleration compared to the other one. So as object B is experiencing a net force of 10 N which is greater than the net force experiences by object A, then the object B will be accelerating more quickly compared to the object A's acceleration.
