Shown is a collision between two pucks on an air hockey table. Puck a has mass 0.025kg and is moving along the x-axis with a velocity of +5.5m/s. It makes a collision with puck B, which has a mass of 0.05kg and is initially at rest. The
collision is not head-on. After the collision the pucks fly off with the angles as shown.
