question

A billiard ball of initial velocity u1u_1 collides with another billiard ball (same mass) initially at rest. The first ball moves off at ψ=45∘\psi=45^{\circ}. For an elastic collision, what are the velocities of both balls after the collision?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
A billiard ball of initial velocity u₁ collides with another billiard ball (same mass) initially at rest. The first ball moves off at ψ=45^(∘). For an elastic collision, what are the velocities of both balls after the collision? 
Original LaTeX notation
A billiard ball of initial velocity $u_1$ collides with another billiard ball (same mass) initially at rest. The first ball moves off at $\psi=45^{\circ}$. For an elastic collision, what are the velocities of both balls after the collision?
