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

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

v = \sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}

Part b)

t = 12 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Tension in the rope at a distance x from the lower end is given as

T = \frac{m}{L}xg + Mg

so the speed of the wave at that position is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

here we know that

\mu = \frac{m}{L}

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{ \frac{m}{L}xg + Mg}{m/L}

v = \sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}

Part b)

time taken by the wave to reach the top is given as

t = \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}}

t = \frac{1}{g}(2\sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}})

t = \frac{2}{9.8}(\sqrt{(39.2\times 9.8) + \frac{8(39.2)(9.8)}{1}})

t = 12 s

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

E_1 = E_2

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}

now we will have

\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}

now square root both sides

\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}

now we have

\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1

so we have

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

The diagram below shows the different phase transitions that occur in matter.
Margaret [11]

Answer:A

Explanation:matter normally occurs in three phases;solid, liquid and gases. They may change from one phase to another due to temperature difference.

The molecules that makes up solids are held together by bonds. When heat is added,the molecules begin to move as a result,the bonds break and it turns to liquid.this process is called melting. The reverse of melting is freezing.

Liquid are made up of molecules that moves more freely than solids. When heat is added to liquid,the molecules gain more energy and begins to move faster. This causes them to turn to gases.

This process is called evaporation. It occurs at different temperature for different substances.

The particles of gases move more faster and are separated by large distances. A gas can change back to a liquid through condensation.
