Remember that when dealing with collisions in 2-dimensions, momentum is conserved in each dimension. Two pucks are sliding on a frictionless tabletop. Block A (mass 3.54 kg) is moving to the East (+x direction) at 3.00 m/s. Block B (mass 4.25 kg) is moving to the North (+y direction) at 3.60 m/s. Assume the system to be both Block A and Block B. (Note: It could be useful to make a drawing of the situation.) What is the x-component of the total momentum of the system before the collision?
2.) What is the y-component of the total momentum of the system before the collision?
3.) What is the x-component of the total momentum of the system after the collision?
4.) What is the y-component of the total momentum of the system after the collision?
