A hockey puck having a mass of 0.30 kg slides on the friction- less, horizontal surface of an ice rink. Two hockey sticks strike the puck simultaneously, exerting the forces on the puck shown in Figure 5.4. The force F₁ has a magnitude of 5.0 N, and is directed at 0 = 20° below the x axis. The force F₂ has a mag- nitude 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.
