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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is 71 m/s.

The bullet of mass m moving with a velocity u has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed v when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force F on the bullet and the thickness of the block is x then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

$W=Fx$

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

$W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)$

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v₁.

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

$F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)$

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v₁.

$\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s$

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s

A lab technician needs to clean medical instruments that have been exposed to bacteria. Which electromagnetic wave

sveta [45]

Answer:

Ultraviolet wave

Explanation:

Ultraviolet waves would be best used to sterilize a surface expose to bacteria because it will completely destroy them.

Most medical equipment are usually sanitized by using this rays because the DNA of most bacteria can be innervated upon exposure to these ray.

Ultraviolet rays are energetic and more powerful than the normal visible light and subsequent long wavelength radiations.

Generally, ultraviolet rays is a very harmful electromagnetic radiation.

Use the motion map to answer the question.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The object starts away from the origin and then moves toward the origin at a constant velocity. Next, it stops for one second. Finally, it moves away from the origin at a greater constant velocity.

Uses of atmospheric pressure

Sophie [7]

Atmospheric pressure is an indicator of weather. When a low-pressure system moves into an area, it usually leads to cloudiness, wind, and precipitation.
