The figure gives an overhead view of the path taken by a 0.162 kg cue ball as it bounces from a rail of a pool table. The ball's initial speed is 2.18 m/s, and the angle θ1 is 62.6∘. The bounce reverses the y component of the ball's velocity but does not alter the x component. What are (a) angle θ2 and (b) the magnitude of the change in the ball's linear momentum? (The fact that the ball rolls is irrelevant to the problem.) (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
