Problem
Two students push horizontally on a puck that glides on nearly friction-free ice. One student pushes due east with a constant 4N force, while the other simultaneously pushes due north with a constant 4N force. At a certain instant the northward push stops, but the eastward push continues unchanged. Describe how the puck’s velocity components in the east and north directions will change over the next few seconds.
