Question

A 0.30-kg puck, initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface, is struck by a 0.20-kg puck that is initially moving along the x-axis with a velocity of 5.3 m/s. After the collision, the 0.20-kg puck has a speed of 3.2 m/s at an angle of 

θ = 53°

 to the positive x-axis.

(a) Determine the velocity of the 0.30-kg puck after the collision.
magnitude       =                                 m/s
direction   =                                ° from the positive x-axis

(b) Find the fraction of kinetic energy lost in the collision.
 
 
|ΔKE|/KEi =                 %
