In the game of billiards, all the balls have approximately the same mass, about 0.17 kg. In the figure, the cue ball traveling at a speed of 3.8 m/s strikes another ball such that it follows the path shown. The other ball has a speed of 1.9 m/s immediately after the collision. What is the speed of the cue ball after the collision?

An orange billiard ball of mass 4 grams and traveling with a velocity of 4 m/s collides with a stationary blue billiard ball of mass 5 gm. what is the speed of the blue ball after the collision, assuming the collision is elastic?
A truck with a mass of 1600 kg and moving with a speed of 13.5 m/s rear-ends a 585 kg car stopped at an intersection. The collision is approximately elastic since the car is in neutral, the brakes are off, the metal bumpers line up well and do not get damaged. Find the speed of both vehicles after the collision in meters per second. vcar =_______________ m/s vtruck = _________________ m/s

A billiard ball is moving in the x-direction at 30.0 cm/s and strikes another billiard ball moving in the y-direction at 40.0 cm/s. As a result of the collision, the first ball moves at 50.0 cm/s, and the second ball stops. What is the change in kinetic energy of the system as a result of the collision?
