While playing pool (or billiards), you begin to wonder how to impart the greatest energy possible from the white ball (m1) to the target ball (m2). Suppose that the collision is elastic and occurs along a straight line. Find the ratio m1/m2 such that the amount of kinetic energy imparted to m2 is a maximum.

You’re playing pool and you line up a shot on the 3 ball. You want the 3 ball to be deflected by an angle of (Theta)3 = 25(Degrees) at a velocity v3 = 1.3 m/s so that it will make it into a side pocket. What initial velocity must you give the cue ball in order to make this shot and what will be the velocity and angle of the cue ball following the collision? Recall that the mass of...

1. You hit your head on the cabinet while getting something out of it, and begin to rub your head on the area where you hit it. The authors state that this behavior is “unsurprising” (Kirkpatrick, et al., 2015) in the context of gate control theory. What is the gate control theory and why might rubbing the area help with pain modulation according to this theory? 2. Chronic pain is particularly difficult to treat; until recently many patients with chronic...

Suppose that you have several numbered billiard balls on a pool table. The smallest possible number on the ball is “1”. At each step, you remove a billiard ball from the table. If the ball removed is numbered n, you replace it with n balls randomly numbered less than n. For example, if you remove the “5” ball, you replace it with balls numbered “2”, “1”, “1”, “4”, and “3”, where numbers 2, 1, 1, 4, and 3 were randomly...

6. One morning while waiting for class to begin, you are reading a newspaper article about airplane safety. This article emphasizes the role of metal fatigue in recent accidents. Metal fatigue results from the flexing of airframe parts in response to the forces on the plane especially during take off and landings. As an example, the reporter uses a plane with a take off weight of 200,000 lbs and take off speed of 200 mph which climbs at an angle...
