A pool ball moving 1.33 m/s strikes an identical ball at rest. Afterward, the first ball moves 0.750 m/s at a 33.30 angle. What

is the velocity of the other ball?

Explanation:

We need to apply the conservation law of linear momentum to two dimensions:

Let p_{1} = momentum of the 1st ball

p_{2} = momentum of the 2nd ball

In the x-axis, the conservation law can be written as

(p_{1} \cos \theta_{1})_{i} + (p_{2} \cos \theta_{2})_{i} = (p_{1} \cos \theta_{1})_{f} + (p_{2} \cos \theta_{2})_{f}

or

(m_{1}v_{1})_{i}= (m_{1}v_{1}\cos \theta_{1})_{f} + (m_{2}v_{2}\cos \theta_{2})_{f}

Since we are dealing with identical balls, all the m terms cancel out so we are left with

(v_{1})_{i} = (v_{1})_{f}\cos \theta_{1} +  (v_{2})_{f}\cos \theta_{2}

Putting in the numbers, we get

1.33 = (0.750) \cos(33.30)  + (v_{2})_{f} \cos \theta_{2}

=  > (v_{2})_{f} \cos \theta_{2} = 0.703

In the y-axis, there is no initial y-component of the momentum before the collision so we can write

0 = (v_{1}\sin \theta_{1})_{f} + (v_{2}\sin \theta_{2})_{f}

or

=  > (v_{2})_{f} \sin \theta_{2} = (0.750) \sin(33.30)  = 0.412

Taking the ratio of the sine equation to the cosine equation, we get

\frac{ \sin \theta _{2}}{ \cos \theta_{2} }  =  \tan \theta_{2}  =  \frac{0.412}{0.703}  = 0.586

or

\theta_{2}  =  { \tan}^{ - 1} (0.586) = 30.4

Solving now for (v_{2})_{f},

(v_{2})_{f}  =  \frac{0.412}{ \sin(30.4) }  = 0.815 \:  \frac{m}{s}

A 1650 kg car accelerates at a rate of 4.0 m/s^2. How much force is the car's engine producing?
Westkost [7]
F = M A

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) 

                   = (1,650 kg) (4 m/s²) = 6,600 kg-m/s² = <em>6,600 Newtons</em>

An instructor gives a demonstration in which he makes a standing wave on a long thin slinky. The slinky is 6.0 meters long. If y
Naily [24]

The characteristics of standing waves allows to find the result for the speed of the wave is:

  • The speed wave is:  v = 10 m / s

The wave is a way of transmitting energy without mass displacement, , in the attachment we can see a diagram of the standing wave.

Each cycle corresponds to half a wavelength,  they indicate that the frequency is 2.50 Hz and there are three cycles, so the wavelength is:

      L = n \frac{\lambda}{2}

      λ = 2L/n

      λ = 2 6 /3

       λ = 4 m

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency

        v = λ f

         v = 4 2.5

         v = 10 m / s

In conclusion, using the characteristics of standing waves we can find the result for the speed of the wave is:

  • The wave speed is:   v = 10 m / s
