Angle between the velocity vectors of the two balls


A cue ball traveling at 7.0 m/s makes a glancing, elastic collision with a target ball of equal mass that is initially at rest. The cue ball is deflected so that it makes an angle of 30° with its original direction of travel.

(a) Find the angle between the velocity vectors of the two balls after the collision.

1 °

(b) Find the speed of each ball after the collision. cue ball 2 m/s target ball 3 m/s
