    Momentum problem involving collision of two balls

    Finding the diagonal of the paralellogram they form? But this doesn't seem possible to do without knowing the direction of the 2kg ball first. Also, you are allowed to add momentum quantities, right? I was taught you could do that at least, since they're both mass and speed.
