A physics student playing with an air hockey table (a frictionless surface) finds that if she gives the puck a velocity of 3.78 m/s along the length ( 1.79 m ) of the table (the x-direction) at one end, by the time it has reached the other end the puck has drifted a distance 2.55 cm to the right (the y-direction). The puck still has a x-component of its velocity of 3.78 m/s when it reaches the other end of...
