Two objects of masses m and 7m are moving toward each other along the x-axis with the same initial speed
v0 = 455 m/s.
The object with mass m is traveling to the left, and the object with mass 7m is traveling to the right. They undergo an elastic glancing collision such that m is moving downward after the collision at a right angle from its initial direction.
(a) Find the final speeds of the two objects.

(b) What is the angle θ at which the object with mass 7m is scattered? answer should be in °counterclockwise from the +x-axis
