For an elastic collision between a projectile particle

Chapter 9, Problem 9.60

(choose chapter or problem)

For an elastic collision between a projectile particle ofmass mA and a target particle (at rest) of mass mB, showthat the scattering angle, 0A , of the projectile (a) can takeany value, 0 to 180, for mA < mB, but (b) has a maximumangle (f) given by cos2(f> = 1 (mB/mA)2 for mA > mB.
