Find the direction of motion of the cue ball after collision

Reference no: EM13337488

In a pool game, the cue ball, which has an initial speed of 8 m/s, make an elastic collision with the eight ball, which is initially at rest. After the collision, the eight ball moves at an angle of 25° with the original direction of the cue ball.

1. Find the direction of motion of the cue ball after the collision.

° (from the original line of motion)

2. Find the speed of each ball. Assume that the balls have equal mass.

a. m/s (cue ball)

b. m/s (eight ball)
