A 46.0-kg skater is traveling due east at a speed of 2.60 m/s. A 66.0-kg skater is moving due south at a speed of 6.10 m/s. They collide and hold on to each other after the collision, managing to move off at an angle  south of east, with a speed of vf. Find (a) the angle  and (b) the speed vf, assuming that friction can be ignored.

**Problem Statement:**

A 46.0-kg skater is traveling due east at a speed of 2.60 m/s. A 66.0-kg skater is moving due south at a speed of 6.10 m/s. They collide and hold on to each other after the collision, managing to move off at an angle θ south of east, with a speed of \( v_f \). Find (a) the angle θ and (b) the speed \( v_f \), assuming that friction can be ignored.

**Solution Fields:**

(a) 
- Number: [Input Field]
- Units: [Dropdown Menu]

(b) 
- Number: [Input Field]
- Units: [Dropdown Menu] 

**Note**: In this problem, conservation of momentum principles will be applied to determine the angle θ and speed \( v_f \).
