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.

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

Ang prinsipyo ay nagsasaad na ang enerhiya ay hindi maaaring malikha o masira, ngunit maaari lamang ma-convert mula sa isang anyo patungo sa isa pa. Ang tubig sa tuktok ng napakataas na talon ay nagtataglay ng gravitational potential energy. Habang bumabagsak ang tubig, ang enerhiya na ito ay na-convert sa kinetic energy, na nagreresulta sa isang daloy sa isang mataas na bilis.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass on the end. (c)

This means that it doesn't matter if you hang a piece of spaghetti or a school bus from the bottom end.  If there is no air resistance, and no friction at the top end, and the string has no mass, then the time it takes the pendulum to swing from one side to the other <u><em>only</em></u> depends on the <u><em>length</em></u> of the string.
