Elastic collision between two billiard balls
Yepp I used conservation of kinetic energy. I was using the conservation of momentum equation for the unknowns of the angles but I was running into trouble because I would get sinθ1 and sinθ2 in one equation and cosθ1 and cosθ2 in the other equation.- phyme814

Elastic collision between two billiard balls
Homework Statement Two balls collide on a frictionless surface. Mass m1 = .4 kg and Mass m2 = .3 kg . The initial velocity of m1 is 3 m/s. While m2 is at rest. After the collision the velocity of m1 is 1.5 m/s, θ1 above the horizontal. While m2 gains an unknown velocity of v2f, θ2 below the...- phyme814
