In a game of pool, why will the balls eventually stop after a collision?

Physics

Aneli [31]3 years ago

As a ball rolls ... even if there were no air resistance ... the ball
has to push down and climb over every one of those little fibers
that stick up from the felt fabric on the table.  As it does that, each
little fiber brushes against the ball, and robs a tiny tiny bit of its
kinetic energy.

A circus tightrope walker weighing 800 N is standing in the middle of a 15 meter long cable stretched between two posts. The cab
Lorico [155]

Answer:

T = 10010 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the translational equilibrium relation, let's set a reference frame

X axis

       Fₓ-Fₓ = 0

       Fₓ = Fₓ

whereby the horizontal components of the tension in the cable cancel

Y Axis  

        F_{y} + F_{y} - W =0

        2F_{y} = W

let's use trigonometry to find the angles

        tan θ = y / x

        θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 L)

        θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 15)

        θ = 2.29º

the components of stress are

         F_{y} = T sin θ

we substitute

       2 T sin θ = W

       T = W / 2sin θ

        T = \frac{ 800}{ 2sin 2.29}

        T = 10010 N

What is transferred by a force moving an object through a distance?
Komok [63]
<span>When you apply force to move an object at a distance, you are applying work. And work is energy in transit. The answer is letter D. For example, you see a cart at a distance. You observe that it is not moving. You want to transfer it to your backyard. You apply force to the cart and observed that the cart is not at the same position as it was before. You are applying work to the cart by transferring your energy to it.</span>
