Homework Statement
Consider a collision: If mass 1 has initial velocity 1i-1j of and mass 2 is initially at rest. After collision mass one moves with a velocity of 2i-3j and mass 2 moves with velocity of -1.5i+3j. What's m1/m2?
Homework Equations
m1/m2-=(v2f-v2i)/(v1i-v2f)
The Attempt at a Solution
Reading this question i would think its an elastic collision because they don't end up sticking together because mass 1 moves in a positive x direction and negative y direction and for mass 2 it moves in the opposite direction of mass 1. Would this be a correct assumption?
