During a game of pool, the 9 ball is accelerating forward at a rate of 3.2 m/s2
to the right when it hits the stationary 2 ball. Each ball has a mass of 0.16 kg.
According to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, what force does the 2 ball apply to the 9 ball?

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the force applied by the 2 ball to the 9 ball is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force applied by the 9 ball to the 2 ball.
Since the 9 ball is accelerating forward at a rate of 3.2 m/s^2, the force applied by the 9 ball to the 2 ball is equal to the mass of the 2 ball multiplied by its acceleration, which is 0.16 kg * 3.2 m/s^2 = 0.51 N.
Therefore, the 2 ball applies a force of 0.51 N to the 9 ball.
According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the force applied by the 2 ball to the 9 ball is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force applied by the 9 ball to the 2 ball.
Since the 9 ball is accelerating forward at a rate of 3.2 m/s^2, we can use Newton's second law (F = m*a) to calculate the force applied by the 9 ball to the 2 ball.
The mass of each ball is 0.16 kg, and the acceleration of the 9 ball is 3.2 m/s^2. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
F = m * a
F = 0.16 kg * 3.2 m/s^2
F = 0.51 N
Therefore, the force applied by the 2 ball to the 9 ball is 0.51 N.
According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the 9 ball is applying a force on the 2 ball, and the 2 ball will apply an equal and opposite force on the 9 ball.
To find the force that the 2 ball applies on the 9 ball, we can use Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a).
Given the mass of each ball (m = 0.16 kg) and the acceleration of the 9 ball (a = 3.2 m/s^2), we can substitute these values into the equation F = m * a to calculate the force:
F = (0.16 kg) * (3.2 m/s^2)
F = 0.51 N
So, the force that the 2 ball applies to the 9 ball is 0.51 N.
