Mario, a hockey player, is skating due south at a speed of 6.17 m/s relative to the ice. A teammate passes the puck to him. The puck has a speed of 8.45 m/s and is moving in a direction of 14.2° west of south, relative to the ice. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) direction (relative to due south) of the puck's velocity, as observed by Mario?
