Two hover pucks glide towards each other, collide and then glide away. Puck A (5.0 kg) was initially travelling at 2.0 m/s [E 25 NJ. Puck B (3.0 kg) was initially travelling at 4.0 m/s [E 30 S]. After the collision, puck A travelled at 1.6 m/s [E 30 S]. Determine the velocity of Puck B after the collision. 1. Draw a sketch of the collision, including a prediction for the motion of puck A after the collision. Use symbols to label the important quantities.
