OR
m1v1 = m2v2
OR
(delta)P system = 0

The Attempt at a Solution

I HAVE NO IDEA. SRSLY.

Welcome to Physics forums.

As you have correctly surmised, momentum is conserved in this case (since there are no net external forces acting). All three of your relevant equations are equivalent, so how about trying to apply one of them to this problem?
