Physics

On a frictionless table, two stationary balls are placed alongthe y-axis with their contact being centered on the origin of theXY-plane. A third ball moves along the x-axis toward the pair withan initial velocity V. What will be the velocity (magnitude andangle) of all three balls after the collision? Assume that thethree balls are physically identical and that the collisions areperfectly elastic. Show all work and explain the results.
