1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

A 32 u oxygen molecule moving in the +x direction at 1100 m/s collides with an oxygen atom of mass 16u moving at 1648 m/s at 38 degrees to the + x-axis. The particles stick together to form an ozone molecule. Find the velocity of the ozone.
