Question

A billiard ball traveling at 5.00 m/s collides with an identical billiard ball initially at rest on the level table. The initially moving billiard ball (A) deflects 60° from its original direction while the other ball, which was initially at rest, travels 30° from the original direction of A.

a)Find the speed of each of the masses A and B after the collision?

b) Is the collision elastic or inelastic?
