We observe a glancing collision between two billiard balls of the same mass. The first ball is incident at a speed of 5.90 m/s, strikes the second ball (initially at rest) and moves off with a speed of 5.06 m/s at an angle of 31.0° counterclockwise from the original line of motion. The second ball is initially at rest and after the collision moves off with a velocity which we wish to describe with respect to the first ball's original line of motion. Determine the following.

Ignore the fact that the two balls are rotating and determine the velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the original line of motion) of the second ball after the collision.

Two billiard balls with the same mass m move in the direction of one another. Ball one travels in the positive x-direction with a speed of V1i, and ball two travels in the negative x-direction with a speed of V2i. The two balls collide elastically, and both balls change direction after collision. If the initial speeds of the balls were v1i=2.0m/s and v2i =1.0m/s, what would be the final speed and direction of ball two, v2f, in m/s?    Thank...
