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?

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)...
