To calculate the trajectory of a 2D pool ball collision, you need to know the mass, velocity, and direction of each ball before the collision. Using the conservation of momentum and the conservation of kinetic energy equations, you can determine the final velocity and direction of each ball after the collision.
The outcome of a 2D pool ball collision is affected by factors such as the mass, velocity, and direction of each ball, as well as the elasticity of the balls and the surface they are colliding on. Friction and spin can also play a role in the outcome of the collision.
The angle of collision between two 2D pool balls can greatly impact the result of the collision. A head-on collision will result in a more elastic collision, while a glancing collision will result in a less elastic collision. The angle of collision also determines the direction of the final velocities of the balls.
Yes, a 2D pool ball collision can result in a perfectly elastic collision if the balls have the same mass and velocity before the collision and there is no friction or spin involved. This means that the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved and the balls will bounce off each other without losing any energy.
To predict the outcome of a 2D pool ball collision, you can use mathematical equations that take into account the initial conditions of the collision, such as the mass, velocity, and direction of each ball. However, predicting the exact outcome may be difficult due to the many factors that can affect the collision, such as friction and spin.
