Two pucks collide on an air hockey table. Puck A has a mass of 17.0 g and is initially traveling in the +x direction at 7.30 m/s. Puck B has a mass of 51.0 g and is initially at rest. After the pucks collide, puck A moves away at an angle of 42.0 degrees above the +x axis, while puck B travels at an angle of 38.0 degrees below the +x axis.

1. Calculate puck A's final speed.

2. Calculate puck B's final speed.

3. What fraction of kinetic energy was lost in this collision?

Two identical pucks collide elastically on an air hockey table. Puck 1 was originally at rest; puck 2 has an incoming speed of 7.96 m/s and scatters at an angle of 30° with respect to its incoming direction. What is the velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of puck 1 after the collision? (Assume the +x-axis is to the right.) Magnitude: Direction:

A hockey puck (1) of mass 130 g is shot west at a speed of 8.40 m/s. It strikes a second puck (2), initially at rest, of mass 124 g. As a result of the collision, the first puck (1) is deflected at an angle of 32° north of west and the second puck (2) moves at an angle of 40° south of west. What is the magnitude of the velocity of puck (1) after the collision?

On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.253 kg) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.374 kg) which is initially at rest. After the collision, puck A has velocity 0.119 m/s to the left and puck B has velocity 0.649 m/s to the right. Part A: What was the speed vAi of puck A before the collision? Part B: Calculate ΔK, the change in the total kinetic energy of the system that occurs during the collision.
