In a game of pool, when the cue ball (white ball) is stuck, it collides with the solid blue #2 ball, transferring all of its kinetic energy. What will happen after the collision?
a
The Blue Solid #2 ball will move away at half the speed because the kinetic energy is divided between the two balls.
b
The Blue Solid #2 ball will move away at half the speed because the kinetic energy is divided between the two balls.
c
The Blue Solid #2 ball will come to a stop, just like the white cue ball.
d
The Blue Solid #2 ball will move away at the same speed because it has the same mass.
