Question

Two ice pucks (one orange and one blue) of equal mass are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision as shown in the figures below. The orange puck is initially moving to the right at 

voi = 5.65 m/s,

 strikes the initially stationary blue puck, and moves off in a direction that makes an angle of 

? = 35.0°

 with the horizontal axis while the blue puck makes an angle of 

? = 55.0°

 with this axis as in the second figure.

 

Note that for an elastic collision of two equal masses, the separation angle
? + ? = 90.0°.
 Determine the speed of each puck after the collision in meters per second.
