Not sure if the glitch in the matrix type clue about the balls passing through each other is a hint at this particlar law, but, Newtons third law regarding equal and opposite force?
Ok, so as the distance increases the value gets closer to zero, and this means the electric potential energy is increasing. So why when we calculate the gravitational potential energy using the formula GPE=m*h*g, does the negative value get further away from zero as the distance above Earth...
The positive negative is the one I am considering already but its more that one I can't understand. The positive positive situation pretty much makes sense to me.
So, if the negative value is decreasing as the distance decreases, does that mean that infinitely far away means infinite negative...
Ah yes. Ok, I am left with 2V1v2 = 0.
Obviously the struck ball is going to be moving so it cannot be the one which ends up with a velocity of zero, but is there any other logical or mathematical method of deducting which of the two balls will be the one which will have zero velocity...
Homework Statement
Consider the equations for electric potential energy:
and gravitational potential energy:
GPE=m*g*h
In the case of GPE, the potential energy increases as the distance between the two objects increases. This makes sense (to me), as the greater distance between the Earth...
Homework Statement
A billiard ball moving at 2 m/s collides (0 degrees) with another of the same weight and at rest, in a perfectly elastic collision. Demonstrate with equations why the balls trade velocities.

Solved it using quadratic formula as suggested. Time to reach observer is 1.251 seconds. Total distance from observer is 425.58 meters.
Thanks again for the help here.
