3. Two identical billiard balls collide on a table. One billiard ball starts out at rest. The other billiard ball has a speed of 5.00 m/s when it hits the stationary ball. Label that initial direction of the velocity of the moving ball as the positive x axis. The initially stationary ball moves at an angle of 50 degrees above the x axis. The other ball is deflected to an angle of 30 degrees below the x axis. a. Write the conservation of momentum equations for this collision process. (Hint: Write an x components equation and a y component equation. Call the mass of both balls, M.) b. Solve for the speeds of the two balls after the collision. (Hint: If you did not already do it in part a, express the post collision velocity components in terms of the speed and the angle. Write the momentum conservation equations in terms of the speeds and angles.)

1. I drop a ball from height h above the ground. At the same time, my friend, standing directlybelow on the ground, throw a second ball upwards with speed v0. The two balls collideat the moment when the second ball (the ball that my friend threw) is instantaneously atrest.(a) Did I throw the ball, or did I just release it? (b) At what height did the collision take place? (c) A wise old man tells you that if two rubbery balls of equal mass collide, with one ballat rest, the velocity of the first ball just after the collision is the same as the velocityof the second ball just before the collision (and vice versa). Sketch the distancebetween the two balls as a function of time after the collision (until one of the ballsreaches the ground).
(II) You drop a ball from a height of 2.0 m, and it bouncesback to a height of 1.6 m. (a) What fraction of its initialenergy is lost during the bounce? (b) What is the ball’s speedjust before and just after the bounce? (c) Where did theenergy go?
A fastball pitcher can throw a baseball at a speed of 40 m/s (90 mi/b). (a) Assuming the pitcher can release the ball 16.7 m from home plate so the ball is moving horizontally, how long does it take the ball to reach bone plate? (b) How far does the ball drop between the pitcher’s hand and home plate?
A girl, moving at 8 m/s on in-line skates, is overtaking a boy moving at 5 m/s as they both skate on a straight path. The boy losses a ball backward toward the girl, giving it speed 12 m/s relative to him. What is the speed of the ball relative to the girl, who catches it? (a) (8 + 5 + 12) m/s (b) (8 - 5 - 12) m/s (c) (8 + 5 - 12) m/s (d) (8 5 + 12) m/s (e) (8 + 5 + 12) m/s

Anthony carelessly rolls his toy car off a 74.0-cm-high table. The car strikes the floor a horizontal distance of 97.0 cm from the edge of the table. a. What was the velocity with which the car left the table? b. What was the angle of the cars velocity with respect to the floor just prior to impact?
A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large, (b) It is the same, (c) It is V5 limes larger, (d) It is 6 times larger, (e) It is 6limes larger.
