Two identical pucks collide elastically on an air hockey table. Puck 1 was originally at rest; puck 2 has an incoming speed of 5.44 m/s and scatters at an angle of 30° with respect to its incoming direction. What is the velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of puck 1 after the collision? (Assume the +x-axis is to the right.) 30° magnitude m/s direction ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
