Before the collision. the velocity of A is 3.0 m s-i and B is stationary. A
makes an oblique collision with B.

After the collision, A moves off at an angle of 30 0 to its original direction and has a
velocity of 2.6 m s-1 . B is deflected at an angle Owith a velocity of 1.5 m s-t.
e Explain why the final momentum of the system in a direction at right angles to
the initial velocity of A is zero. Hence determine the angle O.

f Show that the total momentum of the system is conserved.

at 500 ms-I at a launch angle of 41 degrees to the horizontal. Taking
ms-2 and ignoring air resistance calculate, the following:
