For if the axis of symmetry is oriented along the y-axis I have gotten as far as converting the main integral entirely to cartesian coordinates. $$\hat{\phi}=-sin(\phi)\hat{x}+cos(\phi)\hat{y} \therefore \hat{\phi} =-sin(tan^{-1}(x/y))\hat{x}+cos(tan^{-1}(x/y))\hat{y}$$...

I've been a lurker here for a bit, I already posted a homework question which I guess I am not supposed to do. I am an undergraduate in Physics and Mathematics at a UC with a minor in poli-sci. I look forward to answering (and more commonly, asking) questions on here.

Homework Statement A particle with mass M and speed v along the positive x-axis hits a stationary mass m. Two particles, each with mass µ, emerge from the collision, at angles with respect to the x-axis. (a) Write the equation for conservation of the 4-momenta, for arbitrary angles θ_1, θ_2 of...
