25PRACTICE PROBLEM
Consider two pucks with masses of 150 g and 170 g. The first puck is moving to the east at 18 m/s, while the second puck is moving to the north at 24 m/s. After the collision, the two pucks stick together and move as one object. What is the resulting speed and direction of the combined 320 g puck? Express your answer as an angle north of east.
