In summary, the conversation is about a physics problem involving two masses colliding. The first mass, m, is traveling at a speed v and strikes the second mass, 2m, which is at rest. After the collision, the first mass is deflected at a 45 degree angle and has a final speed of v/2. The question is to find the speed and direction of the second mass after the collision. The solution may involve using the principle of conservation of momentum and the person asking for help has already attempted a solution in another thread.

Please Plese Help Me --physics Problem --

A mass, m, traveling at a speed v, strikes another mass = 2m at rest. After the collision, the first mass, m, is delfected through 45 degrees and has a final speed of v/2.
Find the speed and Direction of the mass 2m after this collision.

thank you

I think this should be in the Homework & Coursework Questions section.Well i think,the problem can be solved using the prinicple of conservation of momentum
