A particle of mass
m1 moving at a speed
v1 allong the positive
x direction, collides with another particle of mass
m2 at rest. After the collision, the particles have velocities
v′1 and
v′2 in the
xy-plane in the directions of
θ1 and
θ2 with the x-axis as shown in the figure. There are no external forces acting on the particles. Express your answer in terms of
m1,m2,v1,θ1 and
θ2. What is the total momentum of the system before the collision (direction and magnitude)?
