Problem

A 0.20 kg0.20\,\text{kg} hockey puck slides 3.0 m/s3.0\,\text{m/s} due east toward a stationary 0.30 kg0.30\,\text{kg} puck on a frictionless surface. After they collide, the 0.20 kg0.20\,\text{kg} puck moves 60∘60^\circ north of east at 2.0 m/s2.0\,\text{m/s}. What is the speed of the 0.30 kg0.30\,\text{kg} puck just after the collision? (a) 1.3 m/s1.3\,\text{m/s} (b) 2.0 m/s2.0\,\text{m/s} (c) 1.8 m/s1.8\,\text{m/s} (d) 1.1 m/s1.1\,\text{m/s}
