A sticky hockey puck slides along a frictionless, horizontal ice surface at 75 m/s in the +x direction. It collides with a second sticky puck originally sliding at 25 m/s in the -y direction. They collide totally inelastically. If the first puck has a mass equal to half that of the second, what is the angle of their final velocity vector below the +x direction?

A. 9.5 degrees B. 42 degrees C. 34 degrees D. 49 degrees E. 37 degrees
