Two hockey pucks, A and B, on a frictionless surface are coverd with velcro. Both pucks have a mass of .50kg. puck A is moving south @ a speed of 1.2m/s and B is moving east at a speed of 1.6m/s. the two collide and stick together.

A) Determine the initial momentum of the system made of the two pucks (direction, magnitude, and units).
b) sketch a single vector to represent the initial and final momentum of the system made of two pucks.
c) determine the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the hockey pucks after collision.
