Answer:
Part a)
Expression of speed of billiard ball is given as
[tex]v_r = \frac{2m_1 v}{m_1 + m_2}[/tex]
Part b)
Velocity of billiard ball is given as
[tex]v_r = 6.78 m/s[/tex]
Part c)
Expression for the speed of cue ball is given as
[tex]v_c = \frac{(m_1 - m_2) v}{m_1 + m_2}[/tex]
Part d)
Speed of cue ball is given as
[tex]v_c = -1.72 m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that there is no external force on the system of two balls
so momentum is conserved here
so we have
[tex]m_1 v + m_2 (0) = m_1 v_c + m_2 v_r[/tex]
also we know that the collision is elastic collision so we have
[tex]v_r - v_c = v - 0[/tex]
so we have
[tex]v_c = v_r - v[/tex]
so we have
[tex]m_1 v = m_1(v_r - v) + m_2 v_r[/tex]
[tex]v_r = \frac{2m_1 v}{m_1 + m_2}[/tex]
Part b)
Velocity of billiard ball is given as
[tex]v_r = \frac{2(0.365)(8.5)}{0.365 + 0.55}[/tex]
[tex]v_r = 6.78 m/s[/tex]
Part c)
Now the speed of cue ball is given as
[tex]v_c = v_r - v[/tex]
[tex]v_c = \frac{2m_1 v}{m_1 + m_2} - v[/tex]
[tex]v_c = \frac{(m_1 - m_2) v}{m_1 + m_2}[/tex]
Part d)
Now by above formula the speed of the cue ball is given as
[tex]v_c = \frac{0.365 - 0.55}{0.365 + 0.55}(8.5)[/tex]
[tex]v_c = -1.72 m/s[/tex]
