A billiards player strikes the cue ball with a cue stick, thereby putting the cue ball in motion. The cue ball will continue to move until Multiple Choice it runs out of speed.Incorrect its linear momentum is converted into angular momentum. the forces of friction and air resistance bring it to a stop. its inertia is balanced by its momentum.

You are playing pool and are lining up your shot. The object ball (the ball you are trying to place in the pocket) is initially stationary. If you strike the cue ball (that's the white ball that you strike with the cue stick) giving it an initial velocity of 0.35 m/s, and the masses of the object ball and the cue ball are identical, what will be the speed of the cue ball after the collision? Neglect any influence of frictional forces, and neglect any influence from the spin of the cue ball.

A billiard ball moving at $5.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the collision, the first ball moves at $4.38 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and at an angle of $30.0^{\circ}$ with respect to the original line of motion. Assuming an elastic collision (and ignoring friction and rotational motion), find the struck ball's velocity.
