Billiard ball A of mass mA = 0.122 kg moving with speed vA = 2.80 m/s strikes ball B, initially at rest, of mass mB = 0.145 kg . As a result of the collision, ball A is deflected off at an angle of θ′A = 30.0∘ with a speed v′A = 2.10 m/s, and ball B moves with a speed v′B at an angle of θ′B to original direction of motion of ball A.
1) Solve these equations for the angle, θ′B, of ball B after the collision. Do not assume the collision is elastic.
2)Solve these equations for the speed, v′B, of ball B after the collision. Do not assume the collision is elastic.

A batter hits a pitched ball when the center of the ball is 1.28 m above the ground.The ball leaves the bat at an angle of 45° with the ground. With that launch, the ball should have a horizontal range (returning to the launch level) of 107 m. (a) Does the ball clear a 8.22-m-high fence that is 97.0 m horizontally from the launch point? (b) At the fence, what is the distance between the fence top and the ball center?

Could a star ever move in retrograde motion? Would you ever expect a star to significantly change its position in the sky relative to other stars and constellations? Why does a planet that we can observe with the naked eye do these things while stars do not?

Consider two oppositely charged, isolated parallel plates
separated by distance D, with capacitance C,
charge Q, and stored energy U. D is small
compared to the dimensions of the plates. For each statement below,
select "True" or "False".
1. Because of energy conservation, inserting a dielectric leaves
U unchanged.
2. When D is halved, Q stays the same.
3. Inserting a dielectric decreases C.
4. When D is doubled, U increases.
5. When D is doubled, C is doubled.
6. Inserting a dielectric increases
Q.
7. Increasing D, leaves the E
field unchanged.
