Consider two masses mp and mt on a surface where friction


1. Consider two masses, mp and mt, on a surface where friction is negligible. Assume that mt is initially at rest and that mass mp, having a velocity v = vpi i, collides with it. The diagram to the right shows the arrangement. After the collision, mt (the target) and mp (the projectile), travel at angles ? and ?, respectively.

Write the expression for conservation of momentum in the x- and y-directions.
