Two forces are acting on a 0.250 kg0.250 kg hockey puck as it slides along the ice. The first force has a magnitude of 0.360 N0.360 N and points 15.0°15.0° north of east. The second force has a magnitude of 0.600 N0.600 N and points 75.075.0° north of east. If these are the only two forces acting on the puck, what will be the magnitude and direction of the puck's acceleration? Enter the direction as an angle measured in degrees counterclockwise from due east.
