A pool player is attempting a fancy shot. He hits the cue ball giving it a speed of 5.57 m/s and directs its center on a path tangent to the surface of the target ball having the same mass as the cue ball

After the collision (on a frictionless table) the initially-stationary ball moves with a speed of 4.82 m/s. After the collision, the new speed of the cue ball and the relative direction of the balls are closest to A) 2.79 m/s, at 90° to each other.
B) 2.79 m/s, at 60° to each other.
C) 8.34 m/s, at 90° to each other.
D) 8.34 m/s, at 60° to each other.

A solenoid with an air core has a magnetic field pointing along its axis in the positive x direction. This solenoid is then filled with a diamagnetic material. What changes will this make to the magnetic field along the axis of the solenoid?

D) The field will have the same magnitude but will now point in the -x direction. E) The field will point in the same direction with a smaller magnitude.
