Homework Statement
Two objects collide and bounce off one another. After the collision, object m1 = 2.74 kg moves off at 12.8 m/s at a heading of 295 degrees. Object m2 = 2.28 kg moves off at 12.8 m/s at a heading of 241 degrees. Initially, m2 was traveling at 11.1 m/s at a heading of 334 degrees. What must have been the initial velocity of m1? Give the speed for your first answer and the compass heading for your second answer. (remember, the CAPA abbreviation for degrees is deg)
Homework Equations
P=mv and Pi = Pf and m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1' + m2v2'
The Attempt at a Solution
I entered into LONCAPA "18.69 m/s" and "244.47 deg" and I get incorrect.
