2. The equations are the equations of conservation of momentum:
m1v = m1v1cosθ1 + m2v2cosθ2
0 = m1v1sinθ1 + m2v2sinθ2
3. I tried to solve it using the above equations and also tried using kinetic energy conservation since it's an elastic collision. But I can't work out the algebra. Is there something wrong with the logic? I'm completely lost on this one. Someone please solve this for me.
