Chapter 8, Problem 30P
On a cold winter day, a penny (mass 2.50 g) and a nickel (mass 5.00 g) are lying on the smooth (frictionless) surface of a frozen lake with your finger your flick the penny toward the nickel with a speed of 2.20 m/s. The coins collide head-on elastically; calculate the final velocities (speed and direction) of both.
