Two hockey pucks collide on a level, frictionless table. Neglecting drag, which statement is true throughout the collision? The total momentum of the system of the two pucks is conserved because the pucks do not exert forces on each other. The total momentum of the system of the two pucks is conserved because the net force on each individual puck is zero. The momentum of each individual puck is conserved because the pucks exert equal and opposite forces on each other. The time derivative of the total momentum of the system of the two pucks is zero throughout the collision because the pucks exert equal and opposite forces on each other. The momentum of each individual puck is conserved because one puck exerts a larger force on the other.

After the ball A hits (or collides with) the ball B, they are both observed to move off at 45° to the x axis,ball A above the x axis and ball B below. So ?′A= 45° and ?′B = −45°.Is the collision elastic? Justify your answer
Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the other green, are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision. The green disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving initially to the right at vOi = 5.80 m/s as in Figure a, shown below. After the collision, the orange disk moves in a direction that makes an angle of ? = 34.0° with the horizontal axis while the green disk makes an angle of ? = 56.0° with this axis as in Figure b. Determine the speed of each disk after the collision.

Explain why momentum is always conserved in both Elastic and Inelastic collision? A vector B, when added to the vector C = 3.0i+4.0j, yields a resultant vector that is in the positive y direction and has a magnitude equal to that of C. What is the magnitude of B? NB: answer all questions
When analyzing collisions using the law of conservation of momentum, the same principles that allow us to analyze collisions in one dimension can also be used to analyze collisions in two dimensions. To do this, you must separately apply the law of conservation of momentum in the x- and y-directions. Use the following example to practice this process: Two football players are about to collide with one another. Player 1 has a mass of 98.1 kg and is moving with a velocity of 4.52 m/s, 21.5° east of north. Player 2 has a mass of 79.4 kg and is moving with a velocity of 5.15 m/s, 8.55° east of south. Find the x- and y-components of the momentum of each player. What is the sum of the momenta in each dimension? If, when the players collide, they hold onto each other and move as a single unit, what will be the velocity vector of that single unit? Suppose that the two players collide, and bounce off each other. If player 2 is sent backwards with a velocity of 1.77 m/s, 15.5° west of north,…
