Billiard balls A and B of equal mass move at right angles and meet at the...

Billiard balls A and B of equal mass move at right angles and meet at the origin of an xy coordinate system. Initially ball A moves along the y axis at 2.0m/s and ball B is moving to the right along x axis at 3.7 m/s.

After the collision, assumed elastic, ball B moves along the positive y axis with velocity v'B.

What is the final direction of ball A and what are the speeds of the two balls?

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...

Blocks A (mass 3.00 kg) and B (mass 12.00 kg, to the right of A) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is moving to the left at 0.500 m/s and block A is moving to the right at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head on, so all motion before and after it is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of A. Find...

Billiard balls of identical mass roll on a table, and we can ignore the small friction between the balls and the table. The cue ball travels east at a speed of 10 m/s and hits the 8 ball which is initially stationary. After the collision the cue ball travels at a speed of 3 m/s 10 degrees south of its initial eastward heading. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the 8 ball after the collision in m/s? Enter...

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...
