A proton collides elastically with another proton that is initially at rest. 

A proton collides elastically with another proton that is initially at rest. The incoming proton has an initial speed of 2.4x105 m/s and makes a glancing collision with the second proton. After the collision, one proton moves off at an angle of 53 to the original direction of motion and the second deflects at an angle of $ to the same axis. Find the final speeds of the two protons and the angle o.
