Title: A puck with a mass m1 = 28.0 g moving at 1.00 m/s approaches a stationary puck
Post by: ppk on Apr 4, 2012
A puck with a mass m1 =  28.0 g moving at 1.00 m/s approaches a stationary puck with a mass m2 =  102 g on an air table and they undergo a two-dimensional elastic collision. As a result of their interaction, the incident puck moves away with a speed v1 = 0.785 m/s and the other puck moves away with a speed v2 in a different direction. What is the angle between the velocities  v1 and  v2?
A) 45.0°
B) 90.0°
C) 85.0°
D) 123°
E) 165°
