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.

Practical steam engines utilize 450ºC steam, which is later exhausted at 270ºC.
Naily [24]

(a) 0.249 (24.9 %)

The maximum efficiency of a heat engine is given by

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}

where

Tc is the low-temperature reservoir

Th is the high-temperature reservoir

For the engine in this problem,

T_C = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K

T_H = 450^{\circ}C+273=723 K

Therefore the maximum efficiency is

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{543}{723}=0.249

(b-c) 0.221 (22.1 %)

The second steam engine operates using the exhaust of the first. So we have:

T_H = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K is the high-temperature reservoir

T_C = 150^{\circ}C+273=423 K is the low-temperature reservoir

If we apply again the formula of the efficiency

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}

The maximum efficiency of the second engine is

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{423}{543}=0.221

If the center of mass passes outside the area of support of an object, what will happen to it?
defon

Answer:

If a vertical line extending down from an object's CG extends outside its area of support, the object will topple

Explanation:

We can understand better this situation using a diagram with the forces acting on it.

In the attached image we can see that when the gravity center is bouncing outside from the area of the pedestal, the object will be out of balance and will fall.

An electric charge, A, is placed carefully between two other charges, B and C, and experiences no net electric force. Do B
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

I do not have  enough information to tell

Explanation:

This is deduced due to the fact that if the net force due to B and C on A is zero, the charges on B and C could either be positive or negative depending on the charge on A.
