A billiard ball is moving in the x-direction at 30.0 cm/s and strikes another billiard ball moving in the y-direction at 40.0 cm

/s. As a result of the collision, the first ball moves at 50.0 cm/s, and the second ball stops. What is the change in kinetic energy of the system as a result of the collision

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the billiard ball 1, u = 30i cm/s

Initial speed of another billiard ball 2, u' = 40j cm/s

After the collision,

Final speed of first ball, v = 50 cm/s

Final speed of second ball, v' = 0 (as it stops)

Let us consider that both balls have same mass i.e. m

Initial kinetic energy of the system is :

K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mu'^2\\\\K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2+u'^2)\\\\K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}m((30)^2+(40)^2)\\\\K_i=1250m\ J

Final kinetic energy of the system is :

K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mv'^2\\\\K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2+v'^2)\\\\K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m((50)^2+(0)^2)\\\\K_f=1250m\ J

The change in kinetic energy of the system is equal to the difference of final and initial kinetic energy as :

\Delta K=K_f-K_i\\\\\Delta K=1250m-1250m\\\\\Delta K=0

So, the change in kinetic energy of the system as a result of the collision is equal to 0.

A projectile is fired horizontally from a height of 78.4 m at a speed of 300 m/sec. How far did it travel horizontally before hi
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 300m/s

H is the maximum height = 78.4m

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute into the fromula;

R = 300√2(78.4)/9.8

R = 300 √(16)

R = 300*4

R = 1200m

Hence the projectile travelled 1200m before hitting the ground

How do you calculate average speed?
Mila [183]

Divide
       (the distance covered in some period of time)
by
       (the time taken to cover the distance).

The quotient is the average speed during that period of time.

Buildings can affect the surface albedo.

The surface is the outermost or uppermost layer of a physical item or area. it is the element or place of the object which could first be perceived by an observer through the usage of the senses of sight and contact and is the component with which other materials first engage.

A surface is the outermost layer of any physical object. it is the part of the object that may be perceived by an observer using their experience of sight and touch and is the portion with which surrounding substances first engage.

The chemical and mechanical residences include chemical composition, grain, hardness, energy, and inhomogeneities.
