Two billiard balls of identical mass move toward each other as shown in the figure. Assume that the collision between them is perfectly elastic. If the initial velocities of the balls are v = +28.1 cm/s and v2 = -20.7 cm/s, what are the velocities of the balls after the collision? Assume friction and rotation are unimportant. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) -20.7 cm/s 28.1 cm/s EXERCISE HINTS: GETTING STARTED I I'M STUCK! Find the final velocity of the two balls if the ball with velocity v2, = -20.7 cm/s has a mass equal to half that of the ball with initial velocity v1/ = +28.1 cm/s. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) Let the mass of the ball traveling at -20.7 cm/s be equal to m/2. The mass of the ball traveling at vs 28.1 cm/s would then be equal to m.
