The three balls in the overhead view of the figure are identical. Balls 2 and 3 touch each other and are aligned perpendicular to the
path of ball 1. The velocity of ball 1 has magnitude vo- 15.8 m/s and is directed at the contact point of balls 2 and 3. After the
absolutely elastic collision, what are the speeds of (a) ball 2. (b) ball 3, and (c) ball 1? (Hint: With friction absent, each impulse is directed
along the line connecting the centers of the colliding balls, normal to the colliding surfaces)
