Randall D. Knight β€” Impulse and Momentum: Problem 71

A white ball traveling at \(2.0 \text{ m/s}\) hits an equal-mass red ball at rest. The white ball is deflected by \(25^\circ\) and slowed to \(1.5 \text{ m/s}\). a. What are the final speed and direction of the red ball? Give the direction as an angle from the initial direction of the white ball. b. What percentage of the initial mechanical energy is lost in the collision?
