In a game of pool, ball A is moving with a velocity v0 of magnitude v0 = 15 ft/s when it strikes balls B and C, which are at rest and aligned as shown. Knowing that after the collision the three balls move in the directions indicated and assuming frictionless surfaces and perfectly elastic impact (that is, conservation of energy), determine the magnitudes of the velocities vA, vB, and vC.

Billiard ball A is moving in the y-direction with a velocity of 2 m/s when it strikes ball B of identical size and mass initially at rest. Following the impact, the balls are observed to move in the directions shown. Calculate the velocities vA and vB which the balls have immediately after the impact. Treat the balls as particles and neglect any friction forces acting on the balls compared with the force of impact.

A 0.6-kg ball A is moving with a velocity of magnitude 6 m/s when it is hit as shown by a 1-kg ball B which has a velocity of magnitude 4 m/s. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution is 0.8 and assuming no friction, determine the velocity of each ball after impact. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The velocity of ball A after impact is v′A = m/s ∘. The velocity of ball B after impact is v′B = m/s Z ∘.

A ball falls straight down onto a wedge that is sitting on frictionless ice. The ball has a mass of 3.30 kg, and the wedge has a mass of 4.70 kg. The ball is moving a speed v = 4.6 m/s when it strikes the wedge, which is initially at rest (see the figure). Assuming that the collision is instantaneous and perfectly elastic, what are the velocities of the ball and the wedge after the collision?
