Billiardballsnew2 a white billiard ball with mass mw = 1.49 kg is moving directly to the right with a speed of v = 3.09 m/s and collides elastically with a black billiard ball with the same mass mb = 1.49 kg that is initially at rest. the two collide elastically and the white ball ends up moving at an angle above the horizontal of θw = 29° and the black ball ends up moving at an angle below the horizontal of θb = 61°. 1)what is the final speed of the white ball? m/s 2)what is the final speed of the black ball?

Final velocity of white ball is 0m/s

Final velocity of black ball is 3.09m/s

Explanation:

An elastic collision is one that conserves internal kinetic energy

An internal kinetic energy is the sum of kinetic energies of objects in the system

Initial kinetic energy of white ball is Vi1 = 3.09m/s

Final kinetic energy of white ball is Vf1 = ?

Initial kinetic energy of black ball is Vi2 = 0m/s

Final kinetic energy of black ball is Vf2 = ?

m1 = 1.49kg mass of white ball

m2 = 1.49kg mass of black ball

The formula to calculate internal kinetic energy is

1/2m1Vf1^2 + 1/2m2Vf2^2 = 1/2m1Vi1^2

Solving the equation

1.Vf1 = (m1 - m2)Vi1/m1+m2

Vf1 = (1.49-1.49)*3.09/1.49+1/49

Vf1 = 0m/s

2. Vf2 = 2m1Vi1/m1+m2

Vf2 = 2*1.49*3.09/1.49+1.49

Vf2 = 3.09m/s

N:B following the general principle of collision when 2 bodies of same masses collide in elastic collision they exchange velocities.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
