Question

To protect their young in the nest, peregrine falcons will fly into birds of prey (such as ravens) at high speed. In one such episode, a 570 gram falcon flying at 19.5 m/s ran into a 1.00kg raven flying at 8.80m/s . The falcon hit the raven at right angles to its original path and bounced back with a speed of 4.40 m/s . By what angle did the falcon change the raven's direction of motion?( from the initial direction of motion) Please show all work (clearly) how do i use the x and y component in this elastic collision?

[.57*19.5 + 1*8.8]tan[19.5/8.8] = 1*v+ .57*4.4
