On a frictionless air table, Puck A with mass ?A = 0.120 kg is moving at speed ?A = 2.80 m/s in the +? direction when at the origin it hits Puck B (of mass ?B = 0.140 kg), which is initially at rest. Puck A is deflected in the collision into a final velocity of ?'A = 2.10 m/s at an angle of 30° from the + ? axis. The collision is not elastic.
a) Write down equations expressing conservation of momentum in both the ? and ? directions.
b) Solve the equations for velocity (?'B, ?'B) of Puck B.
c) What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is lost in this collision?
Dear student,
Find this solution.if any issue with that don't forget to write in comment section.I will rectify them as soon as possible.
If you find the solution helpful and kindly RATE THE ANSWER it would be appreciated.
