At an indoor curling rink in Naseby, a moving stone A strikes a stationary stone B a glancing blow. Both stones have mass
m=19.0 kg. Just before the collision A moves at
u=2.40 m s−1 along the
x-axis. A high-speed camera shows that just after the collision A moves at
vA=1.10 m s−1 in a direction
62.0∘ to the
+x-axis (on the
+y side). Speeds are measured to
±0.005 m s−1 and angles to
±0.5∘. Treat the stones as not spinning before the collision, and ignore friction with the ice during the brief collision.
