I have had punks try to sit on my air tables, however, they didn't last long in physics. Oh, you mean pucks.
The math is too difficult to do here.
draw the figure.
write momentum equations in x direction, and y direction.
Unknowns will be velocity of .25 puck, and the angle. Two equations, two unknowns.
A 0.25-kg punk, Initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface, is struck by a 0.20kg punk that is initially moving along the x-axis with a velocity of 2.20 m/sec. After the collision, the 0.20 kg punk has a speed of 1.5 m/s at an angle of 37 to the positive x-axis. Calculate:
A.The velocity of the .25 kg punk after collision
B.The angle of the second punk
C.The total energy before and after collision.
D.What is the percentage of energy lost in this collision?
