Pool Trickshot#

../../../../../_images/L22Q1.png

A trickshot set up in pool requires a player to hit a moving ball directly into the pocket. The balls collide in front of the pocket as shown above. Before the collision, \(v_1\) has a velocity \(\theta_1= {{params.thetad}}^\circ\). The second ball has a velocity equal in magnitude at an angle \(\theta_2\). Determine the two possible values of \(\theta_2\) which will cause Ball 1 to go directly into the pocket for the trickshot. The coefficient of restitution is \({{params.e}}\).

Part 1#
