Answer:

-1.7534 Kg.m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum, p is a product of mass and velocity, expressed as p= mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity which is dependent on the direction. Taking left as negative and right as positive then the initial momentum will be

p=-2.42*3.92+(3.7*2.09)=-1.7534 Kg.m/s
