I am struggling with a problem that I could really use some assistance on. The problem sounds simple enough, but I am lost. here it is:
Block A is on a frictionless table with block B. Block B is at rest, block A heads toward B and collides in an elastic collision. Block B falls off of the table a horizontal distance "D" from the edge of the table. Block A flies off the table in the opposite direction and lands a distance of "2D" from the edge of the table.
Block A seems to be much smaller than B due to the displacements and with no friction, I don't think the length of the table matters...If you know of an example or tutorial I could get help from that would also be appreciated. Thanks
