Question
Two particles with mass m and 3m are moving toward each other along the x axis with the same initial speeds v i. Particle m is traveling to the left, and particle 3 m 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.
Find the final speeds of the two particles in terms of v i .
