A billiard ball moving at 5.40 m/s strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the collision, the first ball moves at 4.58 m/s at an angle of 32.0° with respect to the original line of motion. Assuming an elastic collision (and ignoring friction and rotational motion), find the struck ball's velocity after the collision. magnitude m/s direction (with respect to the original line of motion)
