Two spheres A and B of masses $$m1$$ and $$m2$$ respectively collide. A is at rest initially and B is moving with velocity v along $$X-axis$$. After collision, B has a velocity $$v/2$$ in a direction perpendicular to the original direction. The mass A moves after collision in the direction

Initial momentum, $$pi=m2vi^$$ $$+$$ $$m1$$×$$0Final$$ momentum, $$pf=m2(v/2)j^$$ $$+$$ $$m1$$×$$v1From$$ law of conservation of momentum,                             $$pi=pf$$                     $$m2vi^=m2v2j^+m1$$×$$v1$$                          $$v1=m2m1vi^-m2m1v2j^From$$ this equation, we can find, $$tan$$θ$$=12$$⇒                      θ $$=$$ $$tan$$$$-112$$ to the $$X-axis$$.
