Answer #1

Since it is 2R and 3R, the priority of a curved arrow is drawn from the highest priority (1) substituent to the lowest priority (4) substituent. If the arrow points in a counterclockwise direction (left when leaving the 12 o' clock position), the configuration at stereocenter is considered S ("Sinister" → Latin= "left"). If, however, the arrow points clockwise, which is in this case as they are given as 2R and 3R (Right when leaving the 12 o' clock position) then the stereocenter is labeled R ("Rectus" → Latin= "right").

A puck of radius 2R approaches two smaller pucks of radius R at 0.4 m/s along a line between them. It strikes them simultaneously pushing them away at the same angle above and below the original puck direction. The collision causes the large puck to slow to 0.2 m/s. The pucks all have the same thickness and density. a) What is the x-component of the velocity of the smaller pucks after the collision in m/s? b) What is the magnitude...
