Find the speed and direction of the second puck

Reference no: EM13311958

A puck is sliding without friction on the ice at a speed of 2.48 m/s. It collides with a second puck of mass 1.5 times that of the first and moving initially with a velocity of 1.86 m/s in a direction 40degrees away from the direction of the first puck. After the collision, the first puck moves at a velocity of 1.59 m/s in a direction at an angle of 50degrees from its initial direction. Find the speed and direction of the second puck after the collision.
