A billiards ball B rests on a horizontal surface and is struck by another billiards ball A of the same mass m = 0.2 kg. Ball A i

s initially moving at 18 m/s and is deflected 28° from its original direction. Assume the collision is elastic. a) find the final velocity vector of each ball, b) find the mechanical energy both before and after the collision.

Answer:

v1 = 15.90 m/s

v2 = 8.46 m/s

mechanical energy before collision = 32.4 J

mechanical energy after collision = 32.433 J

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.2 kg

speed = 18 m/s

angle =  28°

to find out

final velocity and  mechanical energy both before and after the collision

solution

we know that conservation of momentum remain same so in x direction

mv = mv1 cosθ + mv2cosθ

put here value

0.2(18) = 0.2 v1 cos(28) + 0.2 v2 cos(90-28)

3.6 =  0.1765 V1 + 0.09389 v2    ................1

and

in y axis

mv = mv1 sinθ - mv2sinθ

0 = 0.2 v1 sin28 - 0.2 v2 sin(90-28)

0 = 0.09389 v1 - 0.1768 v2   .......................2

from equation 1 and 2

v1 = 15.90 m/s

v2 = 8.46 m/s

so

mechanical energy  before collision = 1/2 mv1² + 1/2 mv2²

mechanical energy before collision = 1/2 (0.2)(18)² + 0

mechanical energy before collision = 32.4 J

and

mechanical energy after collision = 1/2 (0.2)(15.90)² + 1/2 (0.2)(8.46)²

mechanical energy after collision = 32.433 J

Help me with the question in the image I provided​
inna [77]

Answer: 10 s, 30 m/s , 150 m

Explanation:

Given

The speed of motorcyclist is  u_1=15\ m/s

The initial speed of a police motorcycle is u_2=0\ m/s

acceleration of police motorcycle is a=3\ m/s^2

Police will catch the motorcyclist when they traveled equal distances

distance traveled by motorcyclist in time t is

\Rightarrow s_1=15\times t

Distance traveled by Police in time t is

\Rightarrow s_2=u_2t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=0+0.5\times 3\times t^2

put s_1=s_2

\Rightarrow 15t=0.5\times 3\times t^2\\\\\Rightarrow t(1.5t-15)=0\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{15}{1.5}=10\ s

Police officer's speed at that time is

\Rightarrow v_2=u_2+at\\\Rightarrow v_2=0+3\times 10=30\ m/s

Distance traveled by each vehicle is

\Rightarrow s_1=s_2=15\times t=15\times 10=150\ m
