A billiard ball, initially moving to the left at 15.7 cm/s, collides head on with another ball moving to the right at 40.8 cm/s. The masses of the balls are identical. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what is the velocity of the first ball (initially moving the left) after the impact? Give your answer in cm/s.

A billiard ball moving horizontally, labeled 1, strikes another billiard ball at rest, labeled 2. Before impact, ball 1 was moving at a speed of 2.60 m/s, and after impact it is moving at 0.40 m/s at 55° counterclockwise from the direction of the initial velocity. If the two balls have equal masses of 160 g, what is the velocity of ball 2 after the impact? (Assume ball 1 initially moves along the +x-axis. Enter the magnitude in m/s and...

A billiard ball with a mass of 4 g is moving east while a second ball with a mass of 3 g moves west. Positive x axis is due east. The two balls come into head on collision while moving in their respective velocities. Assume that the motion is one dimensional and the collision is perfectly elastic. If the initial velocities of the balls are 12 cm/s and 10 cm/s, what are the velocities of each ball after the collision?

One billiard ball is shot east at 2.5 m/s . A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 0.80 m/s . The balls have a glancing collision, not a head-on collision, deflecting the second ball by 90∘ and sending it north at 1.34 m/s . What is the speed of the first ball after the collision? What is the direction of the first ball after the collision? Give the direction as an angle south of east.
