Imagine two billiard balls on a pool table. Ball A has a mass of 2 kilograms and ball B has a mass of 3 kilograms. The initial v

elocity of ball A is 9 meters per second to the right, and the initial velocity of the ball B is 6 meters per second to the left. The final velocity of ball A is 9 meters per second to the left, while the final velocity of ball B is 6 meters per second to the right.
1. Explain what happens to each ball after the collision. Why do you think this occurs? Which of Newton’s laws does this represent?

2. What can you say about the total momentum before and after the collision?

3. What do you think would happen to the velocity of each ball after the collision if the masses and initial velocities of each ball were the same?

4. The mass of ball A is 10 kilograms and the mass of ball B is 5 kilograms. If the initial velocity is set to 3 meters per second for each ball, what is the final velocity of ball B if the final velocity of ball A is 2 meters per second? Use the elastic collision equation to find the final velocity of ball B. Assume ball A initially moves from right to left and ball B moves in the opposite direction. Identify each mass, velocity, and unknown. Show your work, including units, and indicate the direction of ball B in your answer.

5. If the mass of each ball were the same, but the velocity of ball A were twice as much as ball B, what do you think would happen to the final velocity of each ball after the collision? To answer this question, create a hypothesis in the form of an if-then statement. The “if” is the independent variable, or the thing that is being changed. The “then” is the dependent variable, or what you will measure as the outcome.

1. After the collision, their velocities have switched. This is Newton's third law of motion.

2. The total momentum is conserved.

3. The same thing would happen if the collision is totally elastic.

For 4 and 5.
Using the conservation of momentum equation
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'<span />

Two pulses move in opposite directions on a string and are identical in shape except that one has positive displacements of the
Leni [432]

(c) When the two pulses completely overlap on the string forms a straight line.

A single disturbance that travels via a transmission medium is referred to as a pulse. This medium might be formed of stuff or a vacuum, and it might be endlessly large or finite in size.

Consider two pulses that are identical in shape and proceed in opposite directions along a string, with the exception that one has positive displacements of the string's elements while the other has negative displacements.

On the string, the two pulses blend together completely.

The pulses completely balance one another out in terms of removing string elements from equilibrium, yet the string still moves. Shortly after the string is once again shifted, the pulses will have passed each other.

The correct option is (c)

Why is Darwin criticized for his theory? and who were they
kondaur [170]

A few people criticized Darwin for his theory, such as the left-leaning biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin, who fear the political implications of Darwinian theory. They fear that evolutionary theory, even when bolstered by modern genetics, and molecular biology, does not make reality probable enough.

How can u tell matched forces act on objects?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,

then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of

these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be a group of forces (two or more) acting on

an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced".  When

that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed

is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line.  In that case, it's not

possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it
