A sphere, of mass 0.2 kg, moving on a smooth horizontal surface, collides with a fixed wall. Before the collision the sphere moves with speed 5 m s $ ^{-1} $ at an angle of $ 60^{\circ} $ to the wall. After the collision the sphere moves with speed $ v \, m \, s^{-1} $ at an angl…

Two particles, A and B, are moving on a smooth horizontal surface. A straight line has been marked on the surface and the particles are on opposite sides of the line. Particle A has mass 2kg and moves with velocity $ 4 \, m s^{-1} $ at an angle of $ 30^{\circ} $ to the line. Part…

Two snooker balls, one white and one red, have equal mass. The balls are on a horizontal table ABCD The white ball is struck so that it moves at a speed of $ 2 \, m s^{-1} $ parallel to AB The white ball hits a stationary red ball. After the collision, the white ball moves at a s…
