Answer:

To find the force with which the cue ball will strike the other ball, you will need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.

You can calculate the force using the following formula:

Force = mass * acceleration

Plugging in the values from your question, we get:

Force = 0.350 kg * 5.21 m/s^2 = 1.82 N

To convert the distance the cue ball travels from centimeters to meters, divide the distance by 100. So 175 cm is equal to 1.75 m.

I hope this helps!
