Hockey puck A slides along a sheet of frictionless ice, moving due east with speed 2.80 m/s. It then collides with hockey puck B, which is initially at rest. After the collision, puck A is moving in a direction 30.0° north of east with a speed of 2.10 m/s. The masses of the hockey pucks are ma = 1.20 kg and mB = 1.40 kg. Apply conservation of linear momentum to the puck A+B system to find the final speed (in units of m/s) and direction of travel (in units of degrees) of puck B. 2.10 m/s 2.80 m/s 30.0° after before collision collision B

Two identical pucks collide on an air hockey table. One puck starts at rest. The incoming puck has a speed of 6.00 m/s and scatters to an angle of 30.0º. Use the fact that Θ1 – Θ2 = 90º for elastic collisions of objects that have identical masses — in other words, the pucks move apart at a right angle. (a) Sketch the collision, with angles labeled.
