A puck is moving on an air hockey table. Relative to an x, y coordinate system at time t = 0s, the x components of the puck's initial velocity and acceleration are vox = +7.2 m/s and ax = +1.1 m/s2. They components of the puck's initial velocity and acceleration are Voy=+3.6 m/s and ay = -1.5 m/s². Find (a) the magnitude v and (b) the direction of the puck's velocity at a time of t = 0.50 s. Specify the direction relative to the +x axis.
