Disk 1 (of inertia m) slides with speed 4.0 m/s across a low-friction surface and collides with disk 2 (of inertia 2m) originally at rest. Disk 1 is observed to turn from its original line of motion by an angle of 20 ∘, while disk 2 moves away from the impact at an angle of 55 ∘.
1. Calculate the final speed of disk 1
2. Calculate the final speed of disk 2.
3. Is this collision elastic?
