Block 1 (0.5 kg) travels with an initial velocity of [ 40i ] + [ 60j ] m/s and then collides with block 2 (0.5 kg) traveling with an initial velocity of [ -40i ] + [ -40j ] m/s.
After the collision, block 1 has a final momentum of [ 5i ] + [ -25j ] kg*m/s. Assume that no external forces are present and therefore the momentum for the system of blocks is conserved.
