So far I know this type of collision is somewhat inelastic. But, I'm not sure what equation I should use to approach this problem. Please help!
Collision between two pucks on an air-hockey table.
Puck A has a mass of 3.1 kg and is moving along the x axis with a velocity of +5.5 m/s. It makes a collision with puck B, which has a mass of 7.1 kg and is initially at rest. After the collision, the two pucks fly apart with the angles: Puck A= 65 degrees, Puck B= 37 degrees.
(a) Find the final speed of:
puck A=
puck B=
(b) Find the kinetic energy of the A+B system:
before the collision=
after the collision=
