can someone please demonstrate how a question such as this is solved.
A proton traveling with a velocity 6.0 × 105 m/s i
makes a glancing collision with a second proton
at rest. One of the protons is observed after the
collision to be moving with a velocity
V1 = 4.6 x 105 m/s at a 40 degree angle to the original
incoming proton’s direction.
i. Determine the velocity of the other proton
after the collision in unit vector notation
ii. Calculate the angle θ.
