Chapter 9 Problem 7P

Question

Object 1 has a mass \(m_1\) and a velocity \(\mathrm {\vec v_1=(2.80\ m/s)\hat x}\). Object 2 has a mass \(m_2\) and a velocity \(\mathrm {\vec v_2=(3.10\ m/s)\hat y}\). The total momentum of these two objects has a magnitude of \(17.6\ \mathrm {kg \cdot m/s}\) and points in a direction \(66.5^\circ\) above the positive axis. Find \(m_1\) and \(m_2\).

Solution
