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.
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?
