What happens to all the momentum when two billiard balls collide.?
The momentum stays the same.
What happens to all the momentum when two billiard balls?
The momentum stays the same.
When 2 balls collide the momentum of the balls after the collision is explained by?
Conservation of momentum.
Describe what happens to the momentum of two billiard balls that collide?
They have identical momentum before the collision . The total momentum will the the same before and after the collision. When the balls collide they will bounce apart both with same force and so the same momentum as originally - but in opposite directions. This assumes no energy loss in an ideal elastic collision.
When three balls collide they bounce off each other and roll away but they eventually stop does this violate the law of conservation of momentum?
yes

What happens when two balls collide?
When two balls collide, energy is transferred into sound and deformation, but momentum remains the same. The mass times velocity of the balls is constant.

When two pool balls collide and move away from each other why do they eventually stop?
momentum and inertia EDIT: friction between the surface of the pool table and the pool balls causes the balls to lose their momentum.
Is there such thing as quiet billiard balls?
All pool balls are quiet until they collide with another ball. This happens only for a very brief fraction of a second during the typical pool shot. Pool balls cannot be made of any other material that will change the sound they make on impact, so they cannot be quieter than they already are.
How many balls do they use in billiard?
16 balls
What will happen to the speed of a cue ball if all of its momentum were transferred to other billiard balls when playing pool?
If no rotational momentum is present as well, only a tiny fraction of which can be transferred to another billiard ball, the cue ball will stop. If rotational momentum is present, which is a part of cue ball control, the cue ball will roll in a direction dependent upon angle of contact and direction of rotation.
When three balls collide they bounce off each other and roll away but they eventually stop does this violate the law of conservation of momentum?
yes
What is the total momentum between two identical balls traveling toward each other at the same speed from opposite directions?
They have identical momentum before the collision . The total momentum will the the same before and after the collision. When the balls collide they will bounce apart both with same force and so the same momentum as originally - but in opposite directions. This assumes no energy loss in an ideal elastic collision.
Billiard balls colliding is an example?
Of an elastic collision
