Two pucks are directed towards each other on an ice rink (along the x-axis.) Puck A has a mass of 0.16kg and is moving with a speed of 1m/s in the positive x-direction. Puck B has a mass of 0.17kg and is moving with a speed of 11m/s in the negative x-direction. Puck A slides away with a speed of 11.36m/s in the negative x-direction. a) Determine the velocity of Puck B after the collision. vecVf.B = ____ . b) To solve part (a), what did you include in your system? Select all that are True. Puck A The ice Puck B c) What did you assume that the total force due to the surroundings on each puck was during the collision? d) The collision is very short; it occurs over 0.048s. Determine the average force that Puck A exerts on Puck B. ? vecF_(A or B)=
