Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the otheryellow, are involved in an elastic, glancing collision. The yellowdisk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk movingwith a speed of 5.60 m/s. After the collision, the orange diskmoves along a direction that makes an angle of 36.0° with itsinitial direction of motion. The velocities of the two disks areperpendicular after the collision. Determine the final speed ofeach disk.
