Question

A cue ball at rest on a frictionless pool table is hit dead center by a pool stick, giving it an impulse of +1.80N x s. The ball slides (the combination of hitting the ball dead center and no friction allows this to happen) along the table and makes a head-on elastic collision with another pool ball. If both pool balls have a mass of 0.156 kg, determine the velocity (in m/s) of the second ball the instant after the collision.

Step 1

80N x s. The mass of the second ball is unknown, but we can assume it has the same mass as the first ball. Show more…
