Pool Ball Collisions

Single ball on table: backspin and collision with side cusion. Work out coofficient of sliding and rolling friction. How much energy and momentum are lost in the collision with the rail?

Collision of two pool balls: head on and at an angle.Check for conservation of momentum and energy.

Poolballs suspended in air. Determine the amount of energy lost in the collision. Is it elastic?
