    How Do You Solve a 2D Elastic Collision Problem with Angle Relationships?

    yes I did, the equations I was able to come up with are: V1cos(θ1) + V2cos(θ2) = 5 (momentum in x direction) V1sin(θ1) + V2sin(θ2) = 0 (momentum in y direction) .5(V1)2 + .5(V2)2 = 12.5 (energy conservation) θ1 + θ2 = 90 I worked on these equations for about an hour and came up with...
