Question
Consider the video you just watched. The two pucks of equal mass did not move linearly (they came to a stop) after the collision due to the
conservation of linear momentum. However, since the two pucks mutual center of mass does not coincide with either of the pucks velocity vectors, they
have angular momentum. This becomes evident after the collision when due to conservation of angular momentum the two pucks spin around their
mutual center of mass.
Part A
Suppose we replace both hover pucks with pucks that are the same size as the originals but twice as massive. Otherwise, we keep the experiment
the same. Compared to the pucks in the video, this pair of pucks will rotate
one-half as fast.
twice as fast.
one-fourth as fast.
O at the same rate.
four times as fast.
