<<magnitude 1 kg · m/s
direction 2° above the x-axis>>
Is that your answer or part of the question?
I can't see your figure so can't tell what the angle is between the momentum vectors of the two masses. You know that the momentum of each is M*V. The direction of the momentum vector is the direction of the velocity.
Do the MV multiplications and the vector addition, if you haven't already.
Two particles of mass m1 = 1.0 kg and m2 = 2.6 kg are traveling with velocities v1 = 4.9, and v2 = 2.5 as shown in the figure below. What is the total momentum of this system? Be sure to give the magnitude and direction of the momentum. magnitude 1 kg · m/s
direction 2° above the x-axis
