1. Show that the Kinetic Energy and the Momentum are conserved in this system. (Remember that momentum is a vector, so you need to show the conservation of the momentum in x and y directions separately.)
Data:
Before the collision: m1= 1kg v1x =1 m/s v1y=0 m/s m2=1kg v2x=-1m/s v2y=0 m/s
After the collision: m1= 1kg v1x =-0.778 m/s v1y=-0.629 m/s m2=1kg v2x= 0.778 m/s v2y=0.629 m/s
2. From the data, calculate the direction(angles) of the final velocities of the two objects.
