A white billiards ball has a mass of ( 0.170 mathrm{~kg} ). A green billiards ball has a mass of ( 0.160 mathrm{~kg} ). A collision involving a white ball and a green ball is described in the before-and-after diagrams below. Before the White Ball-Green Ball Collision After the White Ball-Green Ball Collision Immediately after the collision with the green ball, the white ball collided with the rubber bumper along the edge of the billiards table. The white ball's velocity before the ball hit the bumper was ( 1.20 mathrm{~m} / mathrm{s} ), right; and immediately after the ball hit the bumper, its velocity was ( 1.00 mathrm{~m} / mathrm{s} ), left.

Step 1
We are given a collision between a white billiards ball and a green billiards ball. We know the masses of both balls, the initial velocity of the white ball, and the velocity of the white ball before and after it hits the bumper. We need to find the maximum speed Show more…

A blue and a green billiard ball, each with a mass of 0.15 kg, collide directly. Before the collision, the blue ball had a speed of 3 m/s while the green ball had a speed of 2 m/s. After the collision, the green ball stays in place while the blue ball continues in motion. In 3-4 sentences, represent the situation before and after the collision and calculate the speed of the blue ball after the collision.

A 0.22 kg billiard ball moving to the right at 2.2 m/s has a head-on elastic collision with another ball of equal mass moving to the left at 0.85 m/s. The first ball moves to the left at 0.85 m/s after the collision. a- Find the velocity of the second ball after the collision. b- Verify your answer by calculating the total kinetic energy before and after the collision.
