In a game of pool, the cue ball strikes another ball of the same mass and initially at rest. After the collision, the cue ball m

oves at 4.60 m/s along a line making an angle of 28.0° with its original direction of motion, and the second ball has a speed of 3.40 m/s. Find (a) the angle between the direction of motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion of the cue ball and (b) the original speed of the cue ball.

(a) -39.4^{\circ}

Let's take the initial direction (before the collision) of the cue ball has positive x-direction.

Along the y-direction, the total initial momentum is zero:

p_y =0

Therefore, since the total momentum must be conserved, it must be zero also after the collision. So we write:

0 = m v_1 sin \phi_1 + m v_2 sin \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) sin (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) sin \phi_2

where

m is the mass of each ball

v_1= 4.60 m/s is the velocity of the cue ball after the collision

v_2 = 3.40 m/s is the velocity of the second ball after the collision

\phi_1=28.0^{\circ} is the angle of the cue ball with the x-axis

\phi_2 is the angle of the second ball

Solving for \phi_2, we find the angle between the direction of motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion:

sin \phi_2 = -\frac{4.60 sin 28}{3.40}=-0.635\\\phi_2 = -39.4^{\circ}

(b) 6.69 m/s

To find the original speed of the cue ball, we analyze the situation along the horizontal direction.

First, we calculate the total momentum along the x-direction after the collision, which is:

p_x = m v_1 cos \phi_1 + m v_2 cos \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) cos (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) cos (-39.4^{\circ})=6.69 m

The initial total momentum along the x-direction as

p_x = m u

where

m is the mass of the cue ball

u is the initial velocity of the cue ball

The momentum along this direction must be conserved, so we can equate the two expressions and find the value of u:

mu = 6.69 m\\u = 6.69 m/s

If a window is double glazed rather than single glazed there is less condensation on the inside of the glass. Explain why.
sashaice [31]
Because it tends to be hotter inside therefore when the cold air hits the inside of the glass, the cold glass makes it condense however outside its cold therefore it does condense on the outside of the window

How do I convert 498.82 cg to mg
mezya [45]
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
498.82 cg is equivalent to 4988.2 mg

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
cg stands form centigrams
mg stands for milligrams

From the standards of conversion, to convert from centi to milli, we multiply the amount ny 10

<u>This means that:</u>
1 centigram = 10 milligram

To convert 498.82 cg to mg, all we have to do is <u>cross multiplication</u> as follows:
1 cg ..................> 10 mg
498.82 cg .........> ?? mg

498.82 cg = </span>\frac{498.82*10}{1}<span> = 4988.2 mg

Hope this helps :)</span>

What are Sir Issac Newton's three laws of motion?
Likurg_2 [28]
The first law is that every object stay at rest or stay in uniform motion in a straight line until it is forced to change its state by the action of an external force. This law is called law of inertia.

The second law is that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables. the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.  F= ma or force is equal to mass times acceleration. This law is known as the law of force and acceleration.  

The third law is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  every interaction there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. the size of forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. 

Hope this helps :) 

can you please make this the brainliest answer it would really help . Thanks

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then
Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.
