Answer:

I just did this problem so I promise you my answer is correct the total momentum of the system is 1717.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is find the momentum of the first object which is simple enough 202(8.5) which equals 1717 and an object at rest will have no momentum which is shown when you have to plug in a 0 for velocity and multiply you get zero. Then to find the total you just add 1717+0 which obviously gives you 1717.
