Name: 2D Conservation of Momentum Example using Air Hockey Discs Category: Momentum and Collisions Date Added: 2017-05-21 Submitter: Flipping Physics A 28.8 g yellow air hockey disc elastically strikes a 26.9 g stationary red air hockey disc. If the velocity of the yellow disc before the collision is 33.6 cm/s in the x direction and after the collision it is 10.7 cm/s at an angle 63.4° S of E, what is the velocity of the red disc after the collision? This is an AP Physics 1 topic. Want Lecture Notes?

Name: Relative Motion Problem: Solving for the angle of the moving object Category: Kinematics Date Added: 07 October 2014 - 03:02 PM Submitter: Flipping Physics Short Description: None Provided It is not obvious in all relative motion problems how to draw the vector diagrams. Sometimes the velocity of the object with respect to the Earth is not the hypotenuse of the velocity vector addition triangle. Here we address how to handle a problem like that.
