Chapter 2, Problem 88PQ
In Example 2.12, two circus performers rehearse a trick in which a ball and a dart collide. We found the height and time of the collision graphically. Return to that example, and find height and time by simultaneously solving the equations for the ball and the dart.

people love to play with balls nowadays especially
during quarantine as theres not much to do. lets say we
have a ball that hits another ball that is at the rest. after
they hit and smash each other, the first ball moves
4m/s on the platform and makes an angle of 25
degrees while the other ball has a speed of 3m/s..
FIND
a)get the angle b3tween da d1rection of motion of da
second one (ball) and the original direction of motion of
da first one.
b) find da original sp33d of the first one
c)let me ask u this question. is the kinetic energy is
being conserving?
