Find the velocity of the combined mass after the collision

Reference no: EM13655409

Two-dimensional collisions may be studied by using an air table (similar to an air hockey game) instead of the method we used. Suppose a 40-gram air puck traveling to the east with speed 10 cm/s collides with and sticks to a 60-gram air puck traveling south with speed 15 cm/s. Find the velocity (magnitude and direction with respect to east) of the combined mass after the collision.
