Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other
yellow, are involved in an elastic, glancing collision. The yellow
disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving
with a speed
vi.
After the collision, the orange disk moves along a direction that
makes an angle
θ
with its initial direction of motion. The velocities of the two
disks are perpendicular after the collision. Determine the final
speed of each disk. (Use any variable or symbol stated above as
necessary.)
