Question

Two pucks on a level air-hockey table undergo a collision. Initially, only a single puck is moving (mass = 0.200kg and speed of 5.00 m/s); a second puck is at rest (m = 0.100kg). After the collision, both pucks are moving at angles of 30.0 relative to the direction of the initially moving puck (see below sketch). Find the velocity of each puck after the collision.

If yes, what condition and which object (or objects) would experience conservation of momentum

Explanation / Answer

Yes this will be a case of conservation of momentum, both will experience this conservation but since collision is in 2D geometry so conservation will occur along x and y axis resolving their momenta into horizontal and vertical components.
