Question

The drawing shows a collision between two pucks on an air-hockey table. Puck A has a mass of 0.025 kg and is moving along the x axis with a velocity of +5.5 m/s. It makes a collision with puck B, which has a mass of 0.060 kg and is initially at rest. The collision is not head-on. After the collision, the two pucks fly apart with Puck A 65 degrees above the horizontal, and Puck B 37 degrees below the horizontal. Find the masses of Puck A and Puck B.

Answer 1

Is this a trick question? The problem states that the mass of Puck A is 0.025 kg, and the mass of puck B is 0.060 kg. The collision does not change the masses, only the velocities

Answer 2

I think it meant velocity, sorry
