strikes the initially stationary blue puck, and moves off in a direction that makes an angle of e = 34.0° with the horizontal axis while the blue puck makes an angle of o = 56.0° with this axis as in figure (b).
Note that for an elastic collision of two equal masses, the separation anglee + o = 90.0°. Determine the speed of each puck after the collision.
