Problem
A particle P of mass 0.50kg moving with velocity 8.0m s−1 along the +x direction collides on a smooth horizontal floor with a particle Q of mass 1.5kg that is moving with 6.0m s−1 along the +y direction. The two particles stick together after the collision. Find the magnitude and direction (angle with the x-axis) of the velocity of the combined mass immediately after the collision.
