Question

A billiard player took his shot on a tournament game moving the cue ball at a speed of 3.5 m/s and makes a glancing collision with the target ball. After collision, the cue ball moves off at an angle of theta = 37.0 deg relative to the original direction of its motion and the target ball deflects at an angle of phi to the same axis but opposite direction.

(I)Calculate for the the angle phi
(II)Find the final speeds of the two billiard balls
