billiardballsnew2 A white billiard ball with mass mw = 1.49 kg is moving directly to the right with a speed of v = 3.09 m/s and

collides elastically with a black billiard ball with the same mass mb = 1.49 kg that is initially at rest. The two collide elastically and the white ball ends up moving at an angle above the horizontal of θw = 29° and the black ball ends up moving at an angle below the horizontal of θb = 61°. 1)What is the final speed of the white ball? m/s 2)What is the final speed of the black ball?

Answer:

Final velocity of white ball is 0m/s

Final velocity of black ball is 3.09m/s

Explanation:

An elastic collision is one that conserves internal kinetic energy

An internal kinetic energy is the sum of kinetic energies of objects in the system

Initial kinetic energy of white ball is Vi1 = 3.09m/s

Final kinetic energy of white ball is Vf1 = ?

Initial kinetic energy of black ball is Vi2 = 0m/s

Final kinetic energy of black ball is Vf2 = ?

m1 = 1.49kg mass of white ball

m2 = 1.49kg mass of black ball

The formula to calculate internal kinetic energy is

1/2m1Vf1^2 + 1/2m2Vf2^2 = 1/2m1Vi1^2

Solving the equation

1.Vf1 = (m1 - m2)Vi1/m1+m2

Vf1 = (1.49-1.49)*3.09/1.49+1/49

Vf1 = 0m/s

2. Vf2 = 2m1Vi1/m1+m2

Vf2 = 2*1.49*3.09/1.49+1.49

Vf2 = 3.09m/s

N:B following the general principle of collision when 2 bodies of same masses collide in elastic collision they exchange velocities.

pogonyaev

I'd say diffraction since sound waves can bend around objects like corners. Let's say you're in the hallway and you can hear sound coming from a door. The sound waves diffract around the door and spread out into the hallway, making it possible for you to hear.
Also, you can hear it before you see it because light waves are shorter than sound waves and hardly diffract around doors.

A mechanic pushes a 3540 kg car from rest to a speed of v, doing 4864 J of work in the process. Find the speed v. Neglect fricti

topjm [15]

Answer:

1.66 m/s

Explanation:

Work or kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

$4864=\frac{1}{2} (3540)v^{2}$

v = 1.66 m/s

What force could be applied to a box to make the net force in the horizontal direction of zero

Kazeer [188]

If there is no friction, the force that moves the box forward horizontally must be matched by the same force.

If there is friction, then the force moving it forward = frictional force + the additional force you need to add.

A block with mass 0.5 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.2 m. W

lianna [129]

Answer:

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081

Explanation:

We have given mass of the block m = 0.5 kg

The spring is compressed by length x = 0.2 m

Spring constant of the sprig k = 100 N/m

Blocks moves a horizontal distance of s = 1 m

Work done in stretching the spring is equal to $W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 100\times 0.2^2=2J$

This energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the block

And this kinetic energy must be equal to work done by the frictional force

So $\mu mg\times s=2$

$\mu\times 0.5\times 9.8\times 1=2$

$\mu =0.4081$

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081
