Consider the colision depicted in fig to bbetween two billiard balls with equal massesm, =m2. T`he first ball is called the target.The billiard player wants to sink` the targetball in a corner pocket, which is at an angleTheta1 =37". Assume that the collision is elasticand that friction and rotational motion arenot important, then theta2, is

see the explanation in the book
it talks about the vectors
velocity vector 1i = v vector 1f +v vector 2f
cos theta does not occur when we are talking abt the sum of vectors
not get magnitude of v vector 1i by self dot product v1i.v1i = v^2
the solve by making use of dot products and equation 6.32 pg132
they have applied formula square root of (a^2 +B^2 + 2abcos theta)
