The piano ended up 5 meters above the ground.
Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) (height)
= (200 kg) (9.81 m/s²) (5 m)
= (200 · 9.81 · 5) (kg-m²/s²)
= 9,810 joules .
Answer: assuming that the billiard balls are of identical weight the impacted billiard ball will move forward at around 0.5m/s (not considering energy conservation). The ball impacting the 2nd one would stop because most of its Kinetic energy would have been transferred into the not moving ball.
Explanation: hope this helps!
