2D Conservation of Momentum Example using Air Hockey Discs

The video tutorial covers a two-dimensional conservation of momentum problem using air hockey disks. It begins with setting up the problem, followed by calculating velocity components using trigonometry. The conservation of momentum is applied in both x and y directions to find the final velocity of the red disk. The tutorial also analyzes whether the collision is elastic by checking the conservation of kinetic energy. The session concludes with a light-hearted discussion about Movie Character Day costumes.
