2. On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A with mass m A = 0.250kg is moving

toward puck B with mass m B = 0.350kg, which is initially at rest. Just after collision,
puck A has a velocity of v A f = 0.120m/s to the left, and puck B has a velocity of
v B f = 0.650m/s to the right.

(a) What is the speed of the puck A just before the collision?
Solution:

p Ai + p Bi = p A f + p B f
m A v Ai + 0 = m A v A f + m B v B f

(b) Calculate the change in the total kinetic energy of the system that occurs during
the collision.
