Two rolling carts are moving toward each other at the same constant speed of 10m/s. Cart 1 travels to the right with a mass m1 = 0.2kg and while Cart 2 travels to the left with a mass m2 = 0.4kg. Draw a velocity vector v→ for each cart.
Air hockey is a game played on a table. A puck (shown in black) slides freely on a cushion of air. Opposing players strike the puck with a hand-held round "paddle" (shown in red). In one case, while playing air hockey, the puck comes toward you with a speed of 0.8 m/s at an angle of 30° above the -x axis in the xz plane. You strike it with your paddle, and after the collision, the puck travels in the +x direction with a speed of 2.9 m/s toward the opponent's goal. The mass of the puck is 0.020 kg.
