Homework Statement
On an air hockey table, two pucks collide with each other. Puck A have .05 kgand inital velocity of 5 m/s in the x direction. It collides with puck B which is initially at rest and has a mass of .1 kg. The collision is not a head on. AFter the collision, puck A flies of the north east direction with velocity of 3 m/s in an angle theta_A above the x axis. And Puck B flies off the south east direction with a velocity of 2.5 m/s in an angle of theta_B below the x axis. Find Theta_ A and theta_B
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
well I have two equations and three unknows I got
x direction: 0=.05kg*3m/s*sin(theta_a)+.1kg*2.5m/s*sin(theat_B)
and
y direction: m1*V=m1*v_1f*cos(theta_A)+m2*v_2f*cos(theta_B)
please help thanks for your time...
