An air hokey puck (A), of mass m, is moving along the x-axis with speed vo. It hits an identical stationary puck (B). After the collision, puck A is moving 30 degrees above the x-axis and puck B moves 45 degrees below the x-axis.

a) Find the final speed of puck A in terms of m, vo, and the angles defined.
b) Find the change in kinetic energy of the system.

A 2.0 kg puck slides along a frictionless surface with a speed of 5.0 m/s and collides with a stationary 3.0 kg puck. After the collision, the 2.0 kg puck moves at an angle of 35◦ relative to its direction of motion before the collision. The 3.0 kg puck moves at an angle of -20◦ relative to the initial direction of motion of the first puck. You must clearly answer all parts to this question. a) Draw a diagram to...
