A Puck of Mass M1 and Initial Velocity V1 Collides

Question 51

Multiple Choice

  A puck of mass m<sub>1</sub> and initial velocity v<sub>1</sub> collides elastically with a second puck of mass m<sub>2</sub>, which is initially at rest. After the collision, m<sub>1</sub> moves with velocity v<sub>1</sub>' at an angle below the x axis)  and m<sub>2</sub> moves with velocity v<sub>2</sub>' at an angle above the x axis) . Which of the following statements is true? A)  Momentum is conserved in the x direction. B)  Momentum is conserved in the y direction. C)  The total momentum before equals the total momentum after the collision. D)  The kinetic energies are conserved. E)  All of the above statements are true.
