This is the problem I am looking to solve: given two objects of different mass, find the angle of deflection after an elastic collision for each object.
For both objects we know:
SOLVED: I guess it is as simple as getting the slope from the position of the two objects then taking the arctan of that.
For both objects we know:
- m : Mass in Kilograms
- θi : Initial Angle in Degrees
- si : Initial Speed in Units per Second
- sf : Final Speed in Units per Second
- θf : Final Angle in Degrees
SOLVED: I guess it is as simple as getting the slope from the position of the two objects then taking the arctan of that.
