9.5 Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 2.5

An oxygen atom (mass 16 u) moving at 733 m/s at 15.0° with respect to the i^\hat{i} direction collides and sticks to an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving at 528 m/s at 128° with respect to the i^\hat{i} direction. The two stick together to form ozone. What is the final velocity of the ozone molecule?
