(a) In Practice Problem 7.11, find the momentum change of the ball of mass m₁ during the collision. Give your answer in x- and y-component form; express the components in terms of m₁ and v_i. 

(b) Repeat for the ball of mass m₂. How are the momentum changes related?

In Problem 7.11

A ball of mass mj moves at speed v; along the +x-axis toward a second ball of mass m2 = 5.0m1, which is initially at rest. After they collide, ball 1 moves along the +y-axis with speed v1, and ball 2 moves with speed v2 at an angle of 37° below the +x-axis. Find V1 in terms of Vj.
