Two toy cars with different masses and velocities collide elastically. After the collision, the 2 kg car has a velocity of 3 m/s and the other car has a velocity of 2 m/s. Using conservation of momentum, the mass of the second car can be calculated. A billiard ball moving at 4.0 m/s strikes two stationary balls. One moves off at 2.0 m/s at 60 degrees and the other at 3.0 m/s at 30 degrees. The question asks to determine the velocity of the original ball after the collision.

1. A 2 kg toy car with a velocity of 5 m/s collides elastically with a
second toy car that has a velocity of -2 m/s. After the collision, the 2 kg toy car has a velocity of 3 m/s and the second car has a velocity of 2 m/s. Using the conservation of momentum, what is the mass of the second car? 2. A billiard ball moving at 4.0 m/s strikes a pair of billiard balls at rest. One of the balls moves off at 2.0 m/s in a direction 60 degrees from the line of motion of the first ball and the other moves off at 3.0 m/s in a direction 30 degrees from the line of the first ball on the other side. What is the velocity of the first ball after the collision?
