Answer

The magnitude of the velocity is $~~4.01~m/s$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the velocity after the collision is: $~~(2.67~m/s)~\hat{i} + (-3.00~m/s)~\hat{j}$ We can find the magnitude of the velocity: $v = \sqrt{(2.67~m/s)^2+(-3.00~m/s)^2}$ $v = 4.01~m/s$ The magnitude of the velocity is $~~4.01~m/s$.
