Problem 2: A puck m₁ = 0.30 kg is moving with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s at 30 degrees above the x axis. A second puck m2 = 0.40 kg is moving with an initial speed of 3.0 m/s at 45 degrees below the x axis, see picture below (the picture is not to scale. It is just for reference). The two pucks have an inelastic collision. The 0.30 kg puck moves at 2.0 m/s at 20 degrees above the x axis after the collision. Find the magnitude and direction (measured from the x axis) of the velocity of the 0.40 kg puck after the collision. (10 points) You must show a coordinate system, all equations along the axis and all steps. Incomplete work will not receive full credit even if the answers are correct. y-axis m1 m1 F x-axis O m2 O
