Consider the collision depicted in the figure to be between two billiard balls with equal masses $m_{1} = m_{2}$. The first ball is called the cue, while the second ball is called the target. The billiard player wants to 'sink' the target ball in a corner pocket, which is at an angle $\theta_{2} = 37^{\circ}$. Assume that the collision is elastic and that friction and rotational motion are not important. Obtain $\theta_{1}$.

$A$ sphere of mass $M$ moving with velocity $u$ undergoes a perfectly elastic collision with a stationary sphere of mass $m$. If their velocities after the collision are $V$ and $v$ respectively,what is the value of $v$?

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ undergoes an elastic collision with another ball of the same mass $m$ moving in the opposite direction with velocity $2v$. What will be their velocities after the collision?

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with velocity $V$ makes a head-on elastic collision with a ball of the same mass moving with velocity $2V$ towards it. Taking the direction of $V$ as positive,the velocities of the two balls after the collision are:

Consider the situation as shown in the figure. The ball strikes the wall normally and the collision is elastic. The wall is moving with a velocity of $20 \ m/s$ to the right,and the ball is moving with a velocity of $10 \ m/s$ to the left. The mass of the ball is $500 \ g$. The change in the kinetic energy of the ball is $....J$.
