Two billiard balls, one red, one blue, collide with one another perfectly

 

Two billiard balls, one red, one blue, collide with one another perfectly elastically. Prior to the collision, the red ball has velocity UR = (2.96m/s)i while the blue ball is stationary. They both have the same mass, m = 165g. After the collision, the blue ball has speed 1.48m/s and the red ball's velocity is at an angle of 0, 30.0 above the +x-axis. The collision lasts for At=61,5ms. (a) Read parts (b) and (c) below and then define the system you will use in answering those questions. Why does no external impulse need to be considered? [5pts] (b) What is the speed of the red ball after the collision? [3pts] (c) What is the velocity of the blue ball (in components) after the collision? [4pts] (d) What is the magnitude and angle (measured from the +r-axis) of the force from the blue ball on the red ball? [4pts] (e) What is the impulse given to the blue ball from the red ball during the collision? [4pts]
