A billiard ball is moving in the x-direction at 30.0 cm/s and strikes another billiard ball moving in the y-direction at 40.0 cm

/s. As a result of the collision, the first ball moves at 50.0 cm/s, and the second ball stops. In what final direction does the first ball move?

Answer:

53.13 °

Explanation:

In order to do this, we just need to apply the following:

tanα = Dy/Dx

Where:

Vy: speed of the ball in the y axis.

Vx: speed of the ball in the x axis.

At this point we do not need the speed of the first ball after the collision because in that moment is already heading in the direction that we are looking for. Therefore, we just need to use the innitial data to calculate the direction which the first ball will go.

According to this, then:

tanα = (40/30)

tanα = 1.3333

α = tan⁻¹(1.3333)

<h2>α = 53.13°</h2>

This means that the final direction of the first ball is 53.13° and in the x axis because the starting momentum of this ball in the x axis has not dissapeared.

Hope this helps

What is the relation between the direction of electric field and equipotential line at the same point
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The direction of electric field and equipotential line at the same point are always PERPENDICULAR TO THE ELECTRIC FIELD.

Explanation:

Equipotential surface is a three dimensional part of equipotential lines.

Equipotential lines are a type of contour lines that is use to trace lines that have the same altitude on the map and the altitude is the electric potential.

Equipotential lines are always perpendicular to electric potential because the lines creates three dimension equipotential surface.

What does the scientific method help test in environmental science?
horsena [70]

Answer:

The scientific method is a method of research with defined steps that include experiments and careful observation. One of the most important aspects of this method is the testing of hypotheses by means of repeatable experiments. A hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested.
