consider the collision of two billiard balls: A stationary 8-ball is hit by a cue ball moving with uniform motion. the 8-ball quickly accelerates to some velocity. by newton 2, we can explain that the cue ball exerted an unbalanced external force on the 8-ball and the 8-ball accelerated in accordance with the relation F=ma. we might then part ourselves on the back for phyzjob well done and call it quits for the rest of the day. but wait. what happened to the cue ball? Did the cue ball maintain uniform motion?

Ahonda civic travels in a straight line along a road. its distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equation x(t)= î± t2â î² t3, where î± = 1.53 m/s2 and î² = 5.50ã10â2 m/s3 .

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?

Aturntable a is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. it is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk b starts to slide on the turntable 10 s after the turntable begins to rotate. knowing that the trunk undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 0.31 m/s2, determine the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable.
