Object 1 is moving along the x axis with an initial momentum +16 kg

Object 1 is moving along the x axis with an initial momentum +16 kg·m/s, where the + sign indicates that it is moving to the right. As the drawing shows, object 1 collides with a second object that is initially at rest. The collision is not head-on, so the objects move off in different directions after the collision. The net external force acting on the two-object system is zero. After the collision, object 1 has a momentum whose y component is -5 kg·m/s. What is the y-component of the momentum of object 2 after the collision?

Explanation / Answer

y-component of the momentum of object 2 is +5 kg
