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.

Which of the following statements correctly describes the position of the intake and exhaust valves during most of the power sta
I am Lyosha [343]

Both valves are closed during the power stroke.

While the fuel is burning in the cylinder, you want
all the force of the expanding gases to push the
piston down ... you don't want any of the gases
or their pressure escaping. 

If either of the valves was open, even just a crack,
then part of the gases would go blooey out the valve,
and some pressure would be lost that's supposed to be
pushing the piston.

A 23.0 kg iron weightlifting plate has a volume of 2920 cm3 . what is the density of the iron plate in g/cm3?
yanalaym [24]
The first thing you should know for this case is that density is defined as the quotient between mass and volume:
 D = M / V
 In addition, you should keep in mind the following conversion:
 1Kg = 1000g
 Substituting the values we have:
 D = (23.0 * 1000) / (2920) = 7.88 g / cm ^ 3
 answer
 the density of the iron plate is 7.88 g / cm ^ 3

sledge (including load) weighs 5000 N. It is pulled on level snow by a dog team exerting ahorizontal force on it. The coefficient
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

2.5 x 10^{5} J

Explanation:

weight = 5,000 N

coefficient of friction = 0.05

distance = 1000 m

how much work is done by the dogs pulling the sledge

work done = force x coefficient of friction x distance

work done = 5000 x 0.05 x 1000 = 2.5 x 10^{5} J

Study the following reaction carefully. What classification should this reaction have?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Synthesis reaction

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction: two or more compounds combine to form one.

A + B → C

Decomposition reaction: one compound forms two or more.

C → A + B

Single replacement reaction: an element in one compound is replaced with another element.

AB + C → AC + B

Double replacement reaction: elements in two compounds replace each other.

AB + CD → AC + BD
