41, #14 Conservation of momentum, assuming no energy loss p (before collision)=p (after)
xA= 2.8 (kg-m/s) (cos 45) = 1.98 kg-m/s yA= 2.8 (kg-m/s) (sin 45) = 1.98 kg-m/s

xB = 3.2 (kg-m/s) (cos 162) = -3.04 kg-m/s yB = 3.2 (kg-m/s) (sin 162) = 0.99 kg-m/s

total momentum= (xA + xB, yA + yB) = components of resultant vector

(-1.06, 2.97)
After Collision
xA= 3.6 (kg-m/s) (cos 326) = 2.98 kg-m/s yA= 3.6 (kg-m/s) (sin 326) = -2.01 kg-m/s xB = ? And yB = ? Since momentum is conserved, xA + xB= -1.06 therefore, xB= -1.06 2.98 = -4.04 kg-m/s yA + yB= 2.97 therefore, yB = 2.97 (-2.01) = 4.98 kg-m/s

ll r ll = ((-4.04)2 + (4.98)2)1/2 = 6.41 = the magnitude of the momentum of B = tan-1(4.98/-4.04) = 51 degrees is supplementary to the angular displacement, since a negative x - value and a positive y - value indicates that the head of the vector is in Q2 Therefore the direction or angular displacement from the positive x-axis is 180 51 = 129 degrees

P = mv, so that if the object has a mass of 3 kg, then its velocity will be
V = p/m = 6.41(kg-m/s)/ 3 kg = 2.14 m/s

Therefore the velocity vector is: (2.14 (m/s), 129) in polar coordinates

Guy in blue T His horizontal force is = 200N (cos (180 53)) = -120N (F1)

Guy in red T His horizontal force is = 150N (cos 27) = 133.7 N (F2)

The guy in the red T will win!

The guy in the blue T will have to exert a horizontal force greater than 13.7N, which means: X (N) cos 127 > -133.7N

Therefore the force he must exceed is X (N) > -133.7N/(cos(127)) = 222N
