Two balls undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision, with one ball initially at rest. If the incoming ball has a speed of 200 m/s .
E) What is the final speed of the incoming ball if the stationary ball is much more massive than the incoming ball? Express your answer using two significant figures.
F) What is the final direction of the incoming ball with respect to the initial direction if the stationary ball is much more massive than the incoming ball? Forward, backward, or not moving?
G) What is the final speed of the stationary ball if it is much more massive than the incoming ball? Express your answer using two significant figures.
H) What is the final direction of the stationary ball with respect to the initial direction of the incoming ball if the stationary ball is much more massive than the incoming ball? Forward, backward, or not moving?

Two tennis balls undergo a head-on elastic collision. Under
which of these initial
conditions is it impossible for both balls to be moving in the same
direction after the
collision?
(a) the lighter ball is stationary and the heavier ball
is in motion.
(b) the two balls have the same mass and are initially
moving in the same direction, and they collide
because the faster-moving ball overtakes the
slower-moving one.
(c) the two balls have the same mass and only...

When a cue ball strikes the 8-ball, we can assume that the
collision is elastic. An 8-ball has a mass of 0.160 kg, and we have
made a special cue ball, with a lead core, to have a mass that is 3
times as much as the 8-ball's mass, or 0.480 kg. Let's say this
heavy cue ball, initally moving at 1.5 m/s, strikes the 8-ball, and
the 8-ball's subsequent velocity is in the same direction as the
initial velocity...

A ball with mass M = 5 kg is moving with speed V=10 m/s and
collides with another ball with mass m = 2.5 kg which is initially
stationary. There is no other force such as gravity acting on the
two balls. After the collision, both balls move at angle θ=30
degrees relative to initial direction of motion of the ball with
mass M = 5 kg. a) What are the speeds of the two balls after the
collision? b)...
