Homework Statement
Why are the Center of Momentum velocities of masses after a 2D elastic collision anti-parallel? (as in the following diagram)
Homework Equations
CM_Velocity = (∑m_i*v_i)/(∑m_i)
The Attempt at a Solution
This is not actually a problem I have to do. I am just looking for a proof of this fact. I have not been able to find one online, but have probably been looking in the wrong places!
