(a) Explanation Given information: Consider the mass of ball A , ball B , and C is denoted by m . The initial velocity of the ball is v 0 = 12 ft/s . The initial velocity of the ball B and C is zero. Consider the final velocity of ball A and B are denoted by v A and v B . The final velocity of the ball C is v C = 6.29 ft/s . Calculation: Show the collision of the ball A , B , and C as shown in Figure 1. Refer Figure 1. Show the conservation of momentum in x -direction as follows: m v 0 cos 30 ° = m v A sin 7.4 ° + m v B sin 49.3 ° + m v C cos 45 ° m v 0 cos 30 ° = m ( v A sin 7.4 ° + v B sin 49.3 ° + v C cos 45 ° ) 0.866 m v 0 = m ( 0.1288 v A + 0.75813 v B + 0.7071 v C ) 0.866 v 0 = 0.1288 v A + 0.75813 v B + 0.7071 v C Substitute 6.29 ft/s for v C and 12 ft/s for v 0 . 0.866 ( 12 ) = 0.1288 v A + 0.75813 v B + 0.7071 ( 6.29 ) 10.392 = 0.1288 v A + 0.75813 v B + 4.447 0.1288 v A + 0.75813 v B = 5 (b) To determine Find the magnitude of velocity of ball B .

Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be create…

A golfer hits a ball with an initial velocity of magnitude v0 at an angle a with the horizontal. Knowing that the ball must clear the tops of two trees and land as close as possible to the flag, determine v0 and the distance d when the golfer uses (a) a six-iron with a = 31°, (b) a five-iron with a= 27°.

In a game of billiards, ball A is given an initial velocity v0 along the longitudinal axis of the table. It hits ball B and then ball C , which are both at rest. Balls A and c are observed to hit the sides of the table squarely at A, and C, respectively, and ball B is observed to hit the side obliquely at B, .Knowing that v0 = 4 m/s, vA = 1.92 m/s, and a= 1.65 m, determine (a) the velocities vB and vC of balls B and C , (b) the point C, where ball C hits the side of the table. Assume frictionless surfaces and perfectly elastic impacts (i.e., conservation of energy).

Three small spheres A, B and C, which weight 1, 2and 4 lb respectively, can slide freely on a horizontalfrictionless surface. Spheres B and C are connectedby a light rod and are at rest in the position shownwhen sphere B is struck squarely by sphere A whichis moving to the right with a velocity V0 = (8 ft/s)i.Knowing that θ = 45° and that the velocities of spheresA and B immediately after the impact are VA = 0 and VB = (2 ft/s)i + (VB)y j, determine(VB)y and the velocity of C immediately after impact. Please show every single step in the solution with the free body diagrams thanks
