Expert Solution
Step 1:- Concepts and formulas Used

Solution:-

1) According to the laws of conservation of Linear momentum, the linear momentum of the system remains conserved.

Along X-direction,

Px,initial = Px,final

where, Px,initial = sum of the momentum along X- direction initially(before collision)

Px,final = sum of momentum along X-direction, finally( after collision)

 

Similarly, Along Y-direction, we have

Py,initial = Py,final

where, Py,initial = total momentum along Y-direction before collision

Py,final = total momentum along Y-direction after collision

 

2) The momentum of an object moving with velocity v is given by

 P = mv

 here, m = mass of object

          v = velocity of object
