Grade 12,

When two billiard balls collide the collision is assumed to be elastic. Show that for a general case, where the collision is not head on, the cue ball moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the object ball, after impact. Assume that the balls have the same mass and the object ball is initially at rest.

elts assume A only a is moving before collision
since the collison is elastic so KE is conserved
