1/25

Objective:  Solve momentum problems in one and two dimensions.

Warm Up:  A 0.5 kg object traveling 5 m/s to the right along the x -axis strikes (in an elastic collision) a 0.75 kg object that is stationary sitting ever so slightly above the x axis.  The first object moves off immediately afterward at 3 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees below the x axis.  What is the speed and direction of the other object immediately after the collision?
