Remarks

・Above figure is copied from reference[1].
・θ:Angle between center line and incident velocity.
・Unit of both m1 and m2 must be same.
・Initial velocity of m2 is zero(at rest).
・Both m1 and m2 are perfectly elastic spheres on a frictionless surface.
・Unit of both v1 and v2 equal unit for velocity of v.
