11. Momentum & Impulse / Types of Collisions / Problem 4

An experiment is being conducted inside a vacuum chamber. A particle of mass M moving at a speed of V is made to collide elastically with a stationary particle of mass 3M within the chamber. After the collision, the lighter particle gets scattered at a 90° angle. Determine the angle at which the heavier particle recoils following the collision.
