4. Two air hockey pucks are slid directly toward each other. They both have a mass of 0.42 kg The blue air hockey puck is moving to the right at 18m/s while the red air hockey puck is moving to the left at 7m/s When the objects collide, the red puck now is moving at 11m/s to the right. Friction is negligible. a. What is the momentum of the blue puck BEFORE the collision? b. What is the momentum of the red puck BEFORE the collision? c. What is the total momentum of the pucks BEFORE they collide? d. Neglecting friction, what is the velocity of the blue puck after they collide? e. What is the total momentum of the pucks AFTER they collide?
