Question: Part A A neon atom ( mathrm { m } = 2 0 . 0 mathrm { u } ) makes

Part A
A neon atom \(\mathrm{m}=20.0\mathrm{u}\) makes a perfectly elastic collision with another atom at rest. After the impact, the neon atom travels away at a \(55.6^{\circ}\) angle from its original direction and the unknown atom travels away at a \(-50.0^{\circ}\) angle.
What is the mass (in \(\mathbf{u}\)) of the unknown atom? [Hint. You could use the law of sines.]
