In the figure puck 1 of mass m, = 0.50 kg is sent sliding across a frictionless lab bench, to undergo a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary puck 2. Puck 2 then slides off the bench and lands a distance d from the base of the bench. Puck 1 rebounds from the collision and slides off the opposite edge of the bench, landing a distance 3.0d from the base of the bench. What is the mass of puck 2? (Hint: Be careful with signs.) 3.0- Number +1 Units
