    The document provides 3 examples of 2-dimensional momentum problems involving cannon recoil, puck collisions, and determining velocities after oblique collisions. The first problem asks for the recoil velocity of a 2300 kg cannon that fires a 45 kg shell at 650 m/s at a 34 degree angle. The second problem involves a 2 kg puck initially travelling at 5 m/s that collides with a 3 kg puck at rest, and asks for the velocity of the 3 kg puck after collision. The third problem shows a diagram of a 4 kg puck initially travelling at 5 m/s that collides at a 16 degree angle with a stationary 6 kg puck, and asks for the velocity of the 4 kg puck after collision.

    2-D Momentum Problems - Notes

    1) A 2300 kg cannon mounted on a railway car fires a 45 kg shell at a velocity of 650 m/s at an
    angle of 34o above the horizontal.
    45 kg
    v = 650 m/s

    2300 kg

    What is the re-coil velocity of the gun?

    1
    2) A 2.0 kg puck travelling at 5.0 m/s collides obliquely with a 3.0 kg puck initially at rest. After the
    collision the 2.0 kg puck travels at 2.5 m/s at an angle of 34o above the horizontal. What is the
    velocity (speed & direction) of the 3.0 kg puck after collision?

    2
    3) Examine the diagram below: 4.0 kg

    4.0 kg
    ø

    16o
    v = 5.0 m/s
    v=0

    6.0 kg
    ø v = 1.3 m/s

    What was the velocity of the 4.0 kg puck after the collision?
