Consider the collision depicted in Figure, to be between two billiard balls with equal masses `m_(1)=m_(2)`. The first ball is called the cue and the second ball is called the target. The billiard player wants to sink the target ball in a corner pocket, which is at an angle `theta_(2)=phi=37^(@)`. Assume that the collision is elastic and that friction and rotational motion are not important. Obtain `theta_(1)=theta` .

Two balls of equal masses m each undergo oblique collision. If colision is perfectly elastic, then angle between their velocities after collision is

A particle of mass m is projected towards a wall such that theangle of incidence is theta and the speed just before collision is u. Assumming that the wall is smooth and the collision is elastic,show that the ball rebonunds at same angle.

A small ball of mass m_(2) rests on the top of a bigger ball of mass m_(1)(gtgtm_(2) . The centre of bigger ball is at height 3r above ground as shown. The balls are dropped from this situation. If the smaller ball bounces to a height 4 nr from ground after its first collision with bigger ball. find n. (Assume all collisions are elastic).

Two billiard balls undergo a head-on collision. Ball 1 is twice as heavy as ball 2. Initially, ball 1 moves with a speed v towards ball 2 which is at rest. Immediately after the collision, ball 1 travels at a speed of v/3 in the same direction. What type of collision has occured ?
