Question

A 0.3-kg puck,initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface,is struck by a 0.2-kg puck that is initially moving along the x-axis with a velocity of 2.0 m/s.Alter the collision, the 0.20-kg puck has a speed of 1.0 m/s at an angle of θ =53° to the positive x-axis. 

(a) Determine the velocity of the 0.30-kg puck after the collision,

(b) Find the fraction of kinetic energy lost, in the collision.
