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

Use ideas of electromagnetic induction to explain how the input voltage is transformed into an output voltage
devlian [24]

With the help of a transformer  input voltage is transformed into an output voltage

​

<h3>What is induced voltage?</h3>

Electromagnetic induction is what causes the induced voltage. Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating emf (induced voltage) by subjecting a conductor to a magnetic field.

In this case, a magnet is pushed in and out of a wire coil attached to a high-resistance voltmeter.

Typically, a transformer's primary winding is attached to the input voltage source and changes electrical power into a magnetic field.

The secondary winding's role is to turn this alternating magnetic field into electricity, generating the necessary output voltage.

Hence with the help of a transformer input voltage is transformed into an output voltage.
