Physics question:
A golf ball has an elastic collision with a soccer ball, which starts out at rest and a mass that is four time that of the golf ball. Post collision, the socces ball moves off at an angle θ′2=45∘. The golf ball has an initial speed of 7.0×105m/s .
I came up with a possibly wrong equation as follows:
4b*cos45+x*cos(180-(cos^-1(3b/1400000)+45))-700000=0, 4b*sin45-x*sin(180-(cos^-1(3b/1400000)+45))=0
b is soccer ball's final velocity
x is golf ball's final velocity
Thanks in advance!
