An atom of mass m travelling at speed v in the +x direction strikes an identical stationary atom. The
two atoms are in vacuum. One atom moves away after the collision with speed v′ in a direction 45°
above the x-axis.
Show the velocities of the two atoms after the collision by sketching a diagram below. Hence find
an expression for v′ in terms of v.
