From the cosine theorem
$$p_1^2=p_2^2+p_0^2-2p_2p_0\cos\alpha$$
From where
−$$p_2\left(1+\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)=2p_0\cos\alpha\quad (1)$$
+$$p_2\left(1+\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right)=2p_0\cos\alpha\quad (1)$$
By definition of momentum
$$\left\{\begin{matrix}
p_0=m_1v \\
p_2=m_2u
\end{matrix}\right.$$
Substituting into $(1)$ expression
−$$m_2u\left(1+\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)=2m_1v\cos\alpha$$
+$$m_2u\left(1+\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right)=2m_1v\cos\alpha$$
$$u(m_1+m_2)=2m_1v\cos\alpha$$
$$\boxed{u=v\frac{2m_1\cos\alpha}{m_1+m_2}}$$
