Two billiard balls of identical mass move towards each other and have an elastic collision. If the velocities of the balls are + 20.0 cm/s and -15.0 cm/s, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision? Show all the steps.
A. v1,f= - 15.0 cm/s; v2,f= + 20.0 cm/s
B. v1,f= -10.0 cm/s; v2,f= + 20.0 cm/s
C. v1,f= +20.0 cm/s; v2,f= + 15.0 cm/s
D. v1,f= - 20.0 cm/s; v2,f= +15.0 cm/s
Use conservation of linear momentum principle to find the final
velocity of each ball after the collision as shown below
