After a head-on elastic collision between two balls of equal masses,one is observed to have a speed of $3\,m/s$ along the positive $x$-axis and the other has a speed of $2\,m/s$ along the negative $x$-axis. What were the original velocities of the balls?

$A$ ball hits the floor and rebounds. For this elastic collision case,which of the following is true?

$A$ ball of mass $2 \,kg$ collides with another ball of mass $M$ at rest. If the collision is elastic and after the collision, the first ball moves with $\frac{1}{3}$ of its initial velocity in the same direction, then the mass of the second ball is: (in $\,kg$)

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 $\theta_{1}$.

$A$ body of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ collides with a stationary body of mass $2m$. The fraction of kinetic energy lost by the body of mass $m$ is:
