Question

Physics Help Please:

Answer 1

Assume orange is going from left to right and apple is going from right to left 
If mv is the momentum of apple at angle θ to the x axis, 
In the x direction 
0.130*v cos θ = (0.170*1.23) -(0.130*1.08) 
0.130*v cos θ = 0.0687-------------------------2 

In the y direction 
0.130*v sin θ = (0.170*0.974) = 0.16558--------------1 

From 1 and 2 
tan θ = 2.41 

θ = 74.96º 
Substituting the value of θ in 
0.130*v cos θ = 0.0687 

v = 1.38 m/s

Answer 2

It would most likely be east or west... use the process of elimination to decide!!!
