Question

A pool ball is rolling at a velocity of 12 cm/s to the right when it is hit by another ball. It continues moving right at a velocity of 21 cm/s. If the collision lasts 0.45 seconds, what is the ball's acceleration?

A.+9 cm/s2
B.20 cm/s2 to the right
C.26 cm/s2 to the right
D.+46 cm/s2

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration = rate of change in velocity

a = (21-12)/(0.45) = 20cm/s^2
