A billiard ball collides with a stationary identical billiard ball to make it move. If the collision is perfectly elastic, the first ball comes to rest after collision.
<h3>Why does the first ball comes to rest after collision ?</h3>
Let m be the mass of the two identical balls.
u1 = velocity before the collision of ball 1
u2 = 0 = velocity of second ball that is at rest
v1 and v2 are the velocities of the balls after the collision.
From the conservation of momentum,
∴ mu1 + mu2 = mv1 + mv2
∴ mu1 = mv1 + mv2
∴ u1 = v1 + v2
In an elastic collision, the kinetic energy of the system before and after collision remains same.

∴

₂ = 0
- It is impossible for the mass to be zero.
- Because the second ball moves, velocity v2 cannot be zero.
- As a result, the velocity of the first ball, v1, is zero, indicating that it comes to rest after collision.
<h3>What is collision ?</h3>
An elastic collision is a collision between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains constant. There is no net transfer of kinetic energy into other forms such as heat, noise, or potential energy in an ideal, fully elastic collision.

D, Mercury as a weaker gravitational pull! Due to mercury being farther from the sun and it being a smaller planet it has a weaker pull
A camera lens (also known as photographic lens or photographic objective) is an optical lens or assembly of lenses used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other media capable of storing an image chemically or electronically.
It is the effect of the Big Bang and dark energy.
I think it causes physical weathering
