Two billiard balls, a cue ball and an eight ball, of equal mass undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision. If the cue ball’s initial speed was 8.8 m/s, and the eight ball's was 8.3 m/s in the opposite direction, what will be the velocity of the eight ball after the collision? Consider the initial direction of the cue ball to be the positive direction.
Now it is elastic collision, so
using momentum conservation
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2
u2 = -8.3
u1 = 8.8
m*8.8 - m*8.3 = m*v1 + m*v2
0.5 = v1 + v2
another condition for elastic collision
u1 - u2 = v2 - v1
v2 - v1 = 8.8 - (-8.3)
v2 - v1 = 17.1
v1 = speed of cue ball after collision
v2 = speed of eight ball after collision
Add both equation
2*v2 = 17.1 + 0.5
v2 = 17.6/2 = +8.8 m/sec

A cue ball strikes two billiard balls at rest simultaneously with a speed of 8.0 m/s. Immediately after the collision, the cue ball stops in place, while one of the other balls moves with a velocity of 5.0 m/s at 20 degree from the cue ball's line of action. If the other ball that was struck moves at 30 degree in the direction illustrated, and all three balls have equal mass, find the post-collision speed V_2 of the second ball.
Two billiard balls of equal mass undergo an elastic equation. Ball 2 is initially at rest and ball 1 has a speed of 12m/s.
