Referring to Problem, find the scattering angle of the proton in the center of mass system.

A proton of mass mp with initial velocity v0 collides with a helium atom, mass 4mp, that is initially at rest. If the proton leaves the point of impact at an angle of 45° with its original line of motion, find the final velocities of each particle. Assume that the collision is perfectly elastic.
