Question: Two circular pucks on a frictionless, level surface collide off - center. Each has a radius of r = 5 . 0 [ cm ]

Two circular pucks on a frictionless, level surface collide off-center. Each has a radius of r =5.0[cm] and the only forces exerted in the collision are normal to the edges. Puck 1 has a mass of 0.15[kg] and puck 2 has a mass of 0.20[kg]. At the moment of contact, puck 1 has an initial velocity of 0.1732[m/s] to the right and puck 2is at rest. The impact parameter, b =1.5r.
