Solved: Two particles with masses m and 3m are moving

Chapter 9, Problem 93

(choose chapter or problem)

Two particles with masses m and 3m are moving toward each other along the x axis with the same initial speeds vi . Particle m is traveling to the left, and particle 3m is traveling to the right. They undergo an elastic glancing collision such that particle m is moving in the negative y direction after the collision at a right angle from its initial direction. (a) Find the final speeds of the two particles in terms of vi . (b) What is the angle u at which the particle 3m is scattered?
