Question
A cue ball of mass ml 0.365 kg is shot at another billiard ball, with mass m2 055 kg, which is at rest. The cue ball has an initial speed of v = 8.5 m/s in the positive direction. Assume that the collision is elastic and exactly head-on. ? 25% Part (a) write an expression for the horizontal component of the billiard ball’s velocity, vr after the collision, in terms of the other variables of the problem. -& 25% Part (b) what is this velocity, in meters per second? 25% Part (c) Write an expression for the horizontal component of the cue ball’s velocity, vr, after the collision. 25% Part (d) what is the horizontal component of the cue ball’s final velocity, in meters per second?

Answer:
Part a)
Expression of speed of billiard ball is given as
Part b)
Velocity of billiard ball is given as
Part c)
Expression for the speed of cue ball is given as
Part d)
Speed of cue ball is given as
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that there is no external force on the system of two balls
so momentum is conserved here
so we have
also we know that the collision is elastic collision so we have
so we have
so we have
Part b)
Velocity of billiard ball is given as
Part c)
Now the speed of cue ball is given as
Part d)
Now by above formula the speed of the cue ball is given as
