Problem

A 2 kg2\,\text{kg} puck slides to the right at 3 m ⁣/ ⁣s3\,\text{m}\!/\!\text{s} while a 1 kg1\,\text{kg} puck slides to the left at 1 m ⁣/ ⁣s1\,\text{m}\!/\!\text{s} on a nearly frictionless surface. Taking rightward as the positive direction, determine the velocity of the center of mass of the two-puck system.
