I am trying to calculate the final velocities of two equal mass 2-dimensional circles after an elastic collision. I have tried to figure it out using formulas I know from high school physics, but nothing seems to work. My known variables are:
- initial x and y velocities for each circle
- x and y distances between the centres of the circles at the time of the collision
The variables I would like to solve for are:
- final x and y velocities for each circle
Here are diagrams showing all the variables:
