Bert strikes a cue ball of mass 0.17 kg, giving it a velocity of 3 m/s in the x-direction. When the cue ball strikes the eight ball (mass=0.16 kg), previously at rest, the eight ball is deflected 45 degrees from the cue ball’s previous path, and the cue ball is deflected 40 degrees in the opposite direction. Find the velocity of the cue ball and the eight ball after the collision.

The velocity of the cue ball after collision is -2.13 m/s and the velocity of the eight ball after collision is 2.06 m/s

Explanation:

Let m₁ = mass of cue ball = 0.17 kg, m₂ = mass of eight ball = 0.16 kg, v₁ = initial speed of cue ball = 3 m/s, v₂ = initial speed of eight ball = 0 (since it is initially at rest), v₃ = final speed of cue ball, v₄ = final speed of eight ball.

Since the cue ball and eight ball are deflected at an angle to the horizontal, we resolve their final velocity into its components in the x and y direction and then apply it to the law of conservation of momentum.

From the law of conservation of momentum,

In the x- direction

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = -m₁v₃cos40 + m₂v₄cos45 (the third quantity is negative since the cue ball moves 40° in the opposite direction)

0.17 × 3 = -0.17v₃cos40 + 0.16v₄cos45

0.51 = -0.130v₃ + 0.113v₄

-0.130v₃ + 0.113v₄ = 0.51 (1)

In the y - direction

0 = m₁v₃sin40 + m₂v₄sin45  (since our initial momentum in the y-direction is zero)

m₁v₃sin40 = -m₂v₄sin45

0.17v₃sin40 = -0.16v₄sin45

0.1093v₃ = -0.113v₄  

v₄ = -0.1093v₃/0.113  (2)

Substituting (2) into (1), we have

-0.130v₃ + 0.113 × -0.1093v₃/0.113  = 0.51

-0.130v₃ -0.1093v₃ = 0.51

-0.239v₃ = 0.51

v₃ = 0.51/-0.239 = -2.134 m/s ≅ -2.13 m/s

Substituting v₃ into (2), we have

v₄ = -0.1093(-2.134)/0.113 = 2.064 m/s ≅ 2.06 m/s

So, the velocity of the cue ball after collision is -2.13 m/s and the velocity of the eight ball after collision is 2.06 m/s

answer: 0.20

explanation: this can only be the answew because all the other measuremnets are not close

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).
