In a game of billiards, ball A is given an initial velocity Vo = 3 m/sec along line DA, parallel to the axis of the table. It hits ball B and then ball C, which are both at rest. Knowing that A and C hit the sides of the table squarely at points G and E, respectively, and B hits the side obliquely at F, and assuming frictionless surfaces and perfectly elastic impacts, determine the velocity Vc with which the ball C hits the side of the table at E. 2.4m 0.6m VA 0.9m 0.9m Va=3 m/s 0.6m

Step by step solution 

In a game of billiards, ball A is given an
initial velocity Vo = 3 m/sec along line DA,
parallel to the axis of the table. It hits ball
B and then ball C, which are both at rest.
Knowing that A and C hit the sides of the
table squarely at points G and E,
respectively, and B hits the side obliquely
at F, and assuming frictionless surfaces
and perfectly elastic impacts, determine
the velocity Vc with which the ball C hits
the side of the table at E.
