Answer to Question #7583 in Mechanics | Relativity for Huzaifa

Question

Hi, i have a project in which i need to compare the collison of two billiard balls (of the same mass). The first collision is a direct collision while the second one is a "cut shot" meaning that one ball skims the other one. Can you please tell me which equations i can use to measure the velocity and force of the two experiments (what equation to measure the resultant velocity of the billiard ball after a "cut shot" and a straight one) and (what equation to measure the force of the billiard ball after a cut shot and a straight one)
