A billiard ball travels 20 cm in the positive direction, hits the cushion and rebounds in the negative direction, and finally comes to rest 6.0 cm behind its original position. What is the distance?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]x = 34*10^{-2} m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

the ball travelled in positive direction x1 = 20 cm

the ball comes to stop at a distance = x2 = 6 cm

the distance travelled in -ve direction

x3 = x1 - x2 = 20- 6 = 14 cm

total distance co=vered by the given ball

x = x1 +x3 = 20+14 = 34 cm

x = 34 cm

[tex]x = 34*10^{-2} m[/tex]
