The three balls in the overhead view of Fig. 2 are identical. Balls 2 and 3 touch each other and are aligned perpendicular to the path of ball 1.

The three balls in the overhead view of Fig. 2 are identical.

Balls 2 and 3 touch each other and are aligned perpendicular to the

path of ball 1. The velocity of ball 1 has magnitude 10 m/s

and is directed at the contact point of balls 1 and 2. After the

collision, what are the (a) speed and (b) direction of the velocity of ball

2, the (c) speed and (d) direction of the velocity of ball 3, and the (e)

speed and (f) direction of the velocity of ball 1? (Hint: With friction

absent, each impulse is directed along the line connecting the centers

of the colliding balls, normal to the colliding surfaces.)
