Homework Statement
The drawing shows a collision between two pucks on an air-hockey table. Puck A has a mass of 0.0160 kg and is moving along the x-axis with a velocity of +7.91 m/s. It makes a collision with puck B, which has a mass of 0.0320 kg and is initially at rest. The collision is not head-on. After the collision, the two pucks fly apart with the angles shown in the drawing. Find the speed of (a) puck A and (b) puck B.
