A particle has an initial speed vo. It makes a glancingcollision with a second particle of equal mass that isstationary. After the collision the speed of the first particleis v and it has been deflected through an angle 8. Thevelocity of the second particle makes an angle ß with theinitial direction of the first particle.Using the conservation of linear momentum principle inthe x- and y-directions, respectively, show thattan B = v sin 8/(vo - v cos 0)and show that if the collision is elastic, v = Vo cos 0--B8EBefore collisionmVom3After collisionI

A puck of mass mA that is moving along the +x axis with speed va collides with another puck of mass mB = 2mA. The collision is not head-on, so that after they collide, mB is located at 45◦ south of east, while mA collides head-on elastically with a stationary puck of mass mC = 3mA. If, after the second collision, the final velocity of mC is 0.450 [m/s], 25◦ north of east, what is the initial speed va?
