A hockey puck having a mass of 0.3 kg slides on the frictionless, horizontal surface of an ice rink. Two hockey sticks strike the puck simultaneously, exerting the forces on the puck shown in the Figure below.
⃗⃗
The force 𝐹 has a magnitude of 5.0 N, and is directed at 20° below the x axis. The force 𝐹 has a magnitude
12
of 8.0 N and its direction is 60° above the x axis. Determine both the magnitude and the direction of the puck’s acceleration.
