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

- An expert archer demonstrates his ability by hitting tennis balls thrown by an assistant. A 2-oz tennis ball has a velocity of (32 ft/s)i- (7 ft/s)j and is 33 ft above the ground when it is hit by a 1.2-oz arrow traveling with a velocity of (165 ft/s)j + (230 ft/s)k where j is directed upwards. Determine the position P where the ball and arrow will hit the ground, relative to point O located directly under the point of impact.arrow_forwarda.)

- Ball A has a mass of 3 kg and is moving with a velocity of (vA)ı = 8 m/s when it makes a direct collision with ball B, which has a mass of 2.5 kg and is moving with a velocity of (vB)1 = 5 m/s. Suppose that e = 0.8. Neglect the size of the balls. (v), Part A Determine the velocity of A just after the collision measured to the right. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the velocity is directed to the right and negative value if the velocity is directed to the left. (vA)2 = Part B Determine the velocity of B just after the collision measured to the right. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the velocity is directed to the right and negative value if the velocity is directed to the left. (vB)2 =arrow_forward3. A bomb which is initially at rest explodes into three fragments. Fragment A of known mass ma moves at a known angle of 8 measured clockwise with respect to the positive y-axis with a known speed |val. Fragment B of unknown mass (but let's call it m3 ) moves at a known angle o measured counterclockwise with respect to the negative x-axis with a known speed |is|. A third fragment C of known mass mc moves off along the negative y-axis with an unknown speed (let's call it |vc]). Only the forces between the fragments are significant during the collision. a. Draw a diagram that shows the initial and final states of the bomb fragments. Label the velocity vectors and known angles. b. Define what you would like to include in your system. c.

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 1.8 m – 1.2 m - table squarely at A' and C', respectively, and ball B is observed to hit the side obliquely at B'. Knowing that vo = 4 m/s, v, = 1.92 m/s, and a = 1.65 m, determine (a) the velocities v and vc of balls B and C, (b) the point C' where ball C hits the side of the table. Assume friction- less surfaces and perfectly elastic impacts (i.e., conservation of energy). 0.75 m VB Vo B 0.75 m C' A' Fig. P14.51arrow_forward
- Two balls, B1 and B2 each with are initially resting on the floor. They are 15 centimeters apart B1 is to the left of B2. B3 with mass of 2kg rolls in from the right at 3.00 metres per second and strikes B2. After that collision B3 is traveling at 2.00 metres per second to the right. B2 strikes B1. After that collision B2 is traveling at 1.00 metre per second to the right.
