Question

You are playing pool and are lining up your shot. The object ball (the ball you are trying to place in the pocket) is initially stationary. If you strike the cue ball (that's the white ball that you strike with the cue stick) giving it an initial velocity of 0.35 m/s, and the masses of the object ball and the cue ball are identical, what will be the speed of the cue ball after the collision? Neglect any influence of frictional forces, and neglect any influence from the spin of the cue ball. Please give your answer in units of m/s, however, do not explicitly include units when typing your answer into the answer box. Including actual units will result in your answer being incorrectly scored.
