Two billiard balls of equal mass move at right angles and meet at the origin of an xy coordinate system. Ball A is moving upward along the y axis at vA = 2.4 m/s , and ball B is moving to the right along the x axis with speed vB = 5.2 m/s . After the collision, assumed elastic, ball B is moving along the positive y axis.
What is the final direction of ball A? What are their two speeds?

I was just asking because I put that answer before and it told me that it wasn't right.

So it's not accepting zero?

I haven't looked at it yet. And by the looks of it, won't be able to finish by 11:30 -- sorry Frowning Face

In terms of this question, the math check outs, the answer is 0 degrees. What else could it be?

On a side note, a similar example which I just upload also states that the angle is 0.

Maybe add the degree symbol? or rad? Don't know...

Should I attempt to answer the other, or there's no point anymore?
