Answer:

The Total Momentum before and after collision remains the same.

Explanation:

Note that the balls have the same masses.

A moving cue ball has an initial momentum. After every collision with another stationary ball, the momentum, which is the product of their mass and velocity, of the balls is conserved. This simply means that the total momentum before the collision is the same as the total momentum after the collision.

This also means that the energy must be conserved as well. The balls cannot fling away from each other with more energy than you give them.

Answer:

Total momentum is conserved before and after collusion and it's elastic.

Explanation:

For two colliding balls, the general vector equation for conservation of linear momentum is giving as

Ma*V1a = Ma*V2a + Mb*V2b

Where Ma=mass of que ball = Mb = mass of billiard ball so therefore

V1a= velocity of que ball before impact, V2a = velocity of que ball after impact, V2b = velocity of billiard ball after impact.

So therefore:

V1a = V2a + V2b

Given the function f(x) = 8x3 − 3x2 − 5x 8, what part of the function indicates that the left and right ends point in opposite d

ale4655 [162]

Answer: The degree of the first term.

Explanation:

The function:

$f(x) = 8x^3-3x^2-5x^8$

The left and right ends would be indicated when x is changed to -x. When this is substituted, the change is indicated by the first term because only the degree of first term is odd.

Let the left hand side be donated by -x.

Then,

$f(-x) =8(-x)^3-3(-x)^2-5(-x)^8\\ \Rightarrow f(-x)=-8x^3-3x^2-5x^8$

Hence, the correct option is the degree of the first term indicates the left and right end points of the function.

plz i need help fast................a motion along a straight line with a constant increase in velocity is ?

Monica [59]

Answer:

uniform acceleration

Explanation:

The definition for uniform acceleration is:

if an object travels in a straight line and its velocity increases or decreases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time, then the acceleration is said to be uniform.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
