Two equal billiard balls are in contact on a billiard table. A third equal ball strikes them symmetrically and remains at rest after impact. The coefficient of restitution is
Dear Fawz,
let third ball approach the two stationary balls with speed v, let coefficient of restitution be e
from symmetry we can find out that the component of momentum normal to approaching ball is conserved
now consider parallel component: mv=2mucos30
mv=mu√3, coefficient of restitution=u/v=1/√3

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless
horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to
each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same
radius and mass m is placed over the void created by
the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls
kept on the floor to each other if the system remains
in equilibrium.

A car loaded with water having total mass 1000 kg moves on a straight horizontal Road starting from rest under the action of a force of 100 Newton. The water spills throw a small hole in the bottom at a rate of 0.1 KG per second the velocity of cart after 300 seconds is nearly.
