Answer: Northwest.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the collision the second object which was at rest would change its direction and move towards the Northwest. The object in motion was coming from the east and traveling towards the west, where it deflects against a stationery object which changes its direction to southeast. And the object which was at rest moves toward the northwest.
