A hockey puck π΅ rests on a smooth ice surface and is struck by a second puck π΄, which was originally traveling at 40.0 π/π and which is deflected 30.0 o from its original direction shown in Figure 2. Puck π΅ acquires a velocity of a 45.0 o angle to the original direction of π΄. The pucks have the same mass (Figure 79). a) Compute the speed of each puck after the collision. b) What fraction of the original kinetic energy of puck π΄ is dissipated during the collision?
