A hockey puck of mass 0.160 [kg] is traveling to the east with a speed of 2.50 [m/s] on the surface of a frictionless frozen pond when it receives a sharp 2.00 [N] force to the north that lasts 0.100 [s].

(a) What is the magnitude of the puck’s y-velocity 1.00 [s] after the impulse occurs?

(b) What is the magnitude of the puck’s x-velocity 1.00 [s] after the impulse occurs?

(c) Sketch a velocity vs time graph of the puck’s x-velocity.

(d) Sketch a velocity vs time graph of the puck’s y-velocity.

(e) At what angle from the east is the puck traveling after the impulse occurs?

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To solve this problem we first need to analyze the effects of the impulse on the pucks motion Given ... View the full answer
