3. Object 1, with a mass of 2.0 kg, is sliding along frictionless ice at 12 m/s [E] when it collides with stationary object 2, which has a mass of 3.0 kg. Object 1 moves off at [E 40° N] and object 2 moves off at [E 30° SJ. a) Find the magnitude of the velocity of each object, after the collision. b) Was the collision elastic or inelastic? Explain your reasoning.
