Question

A curling stone A (mA = 25 kg) is moving at 3.0 m/s [E] down the centre line of the ice toward an opponent's stone B (mB = 15 kg), initially at rest. Immediately after this collision, stone A continues moving with a velocity of 1.8 m/s [E 22º N]. What is the velocity of stone B after the collision?

Step 1

Step 1: We know that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision because momentum is conserved. Show more…
