A billiard ball moving at 6.00 m/s strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. after the collision, the first ball moves at 5.39 m/s at an angle of 26.0° with respect to the original line of motion. assuming an elastic collision (and ignoring friction and rotational motion), find the struck ball's velocity after the collision.

Answer:

[tex]v = 2.63 m/s[/tex]

[tex]\theta = -66.2 degree[/tex]

Explanation:

In the initial direction of motion we can use momentum conservation

so here we have

[tex]m_1v_1 = m_1v_{1x} + m_2v_{2x}[/tex]

[tex]m(6.00) = m(5.39 cos26) + mv_{2x}[/tex]

[tex]6 = 4.84 + v_{2x}[/tex]

[tex]v_{2x} = 1.16 m/s[/tex]

now by momentum conservation along perpendicular direction we can use as

[tex]0 = m_1v_{1y} + m_2v_{2y}[/tex]

[tex]0 = m(5.39 sin26) + mv_{2y}[/tex]

[tex]v_{2y} = -2.36 m/s[/tex]

So the magnitude of the final speed of the stuck ball is given as

[tex]v = \sqrt{v_{2x}^2 + v_{2y}^2}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{1.16^2 + 2.36^2}[/tex]

[tex]v = 2.63 m/s[/tex]

direction of motion given as

[tex]tan\theta = \frac{v_{2y}}{v_{2x}}[/tex]

[tex]tan\theta = \frac{-2.36}{1.16} = -2.27[/tex]

[tex]\theta = -66.2 degree[/tex]

The final velocity of the second billiard ball is 11.1 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the first ball, u₁ = 6 m/s
  • initial velocity of the second ball, u₂ = 0
  • final velocity of the first ball, v₁ = 5.39 m/s at 26

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for elastic collision.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁  + m₂v₂

Apply one dimensional velocity in x-direction;

[tex]u_1 + v_1 = u_2 + v_2\\\\6 + (5.39\times cos \ 26) = 0 + v_2_x\\\\10.85 \ m/s = v_2_x[/tex]

Apply one dimensional velocity in y-direction

[tex]u_1 + v_1 = u_2 + v_2\\\\0 + (5.39\times sin \ 26) = 0 + v_2_y\\\\2.36 \ m/s = v_2_y[/tex]

The resultant of the second ball final velocity is calculated as follows;

[tex]v_2 = \sqrt{v_2_x^2 + v_2_y^2} \\\\v_2= \sqrt{(10.85)^2 +(2.36)^2} \\\\v_2 = 11.1 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, the final velocity of the second billiard ball is 11.1 m/s.
