Determine the speed of the players break shots

Reference no: EM13297047

Pool players often pride themselves on their ability to impart a large speed on a pool ball. In the sport of billiards, event organizers often remove one of the rails on a pool table to allow players to measure the speed of their break shots (the opening shot of a game in which the player strikes a ball with his pool cue). With the rail removed, a ball can fly off the table; the distance the pool ball lands from the table indicates the initial speed of the ball. As the only participant with a physics background, they have placed you in charge of determining the speed of the players\' break shots.
