Physlet Physics by Christian and Belloni: Problem 11.9

11.1: Torque as a Vector Product
11.2: Rolling Motion
11.3: Translational and Rotational Kinetic Energy
11.4: Angular Momentum and Area
11.5: Conservation of Angular Momentum

Problem 11.9: A puck sliding on an air table collides with another puck

Please wait for the animation to completely load.

A puck sliding on an air table collides with another puck of equal mass that is attached to a string as shown in the animation (position is given in meters and time is given in seconds). What quantities are conserved? Restart.

Physlets were developed at Davidson College and converted from Java to JavaScript using the SwingJS system developed at St. Olaf College.
