Problem
Two identical 0.25kg carts on an air track approach the same intersection point. Cart 1 moves 5.0m/s east; cart 2 moves 8.0m/s north. They collide and separate. After the collision, cart 1 is observed to move 4.0m/s at 60∘ north of east. Determine the magnitude and direction of the velocity of cart 2 immediately after the collision.
