In the game of billiards, all the balls have approximately the same mass, about 0.17 kg. In the figure, the cue ball strikes ano
ther ball such that it follows the path shown. The other ball has a speed of 1.5 m/s immediately after the collision. What is the speed (in m/s) of the cue ball after the collision?

Answer:
v = 2.6 m/s
Explanation:
The question is incomplete because the diagram is not given in the question.
The diagram of this question is attached below.
According to the law of conversation of momentum.
mv(initial) = mv(final)
We can see in the diagram that:
mv(initial) = 3 × 0.17
mv(final) = mv₁(final) + mv₂(final)
Consider only the horizontal components of velocities, to compare them to initial velocity.
mv(final) = mv₁(final) + mv₂(final)
0.17 × 3 = (0.17)(v)(cos 30) + (0.17)(1.5)(cos 60)
0.51 = 0.1472v + 0.1275
0.3825 = 0.1472v
v = 2.6 m/s

Answer:
There is no mechanical advantage
Explanation:
The mechanical advantage is possible only when the force needed to lift a load is lesser than the weight of the load.
For example, is we have a mechanical advantage of 2, the force needed to lift will be 1/2 of the weight of the load, and if we have a mechanical advantage of 4, the force needed will be 1/4 of the weight of the load.
In the attached image there are clear examples of mechanical advantage with pulleys.
