Homework Statement


A 2.0kg object's momentum at a certain time is 10kg*m/s 37degrees vertically upward from due west.

What are the components and magnitude of its velocity vector at this time (in a frame in standard orientation)?


Homework Equations


P=mv
imp= dP


The Attempt at a Solution


I have no clue on setting this problem up..my professor does not show us example problems or anything, just goes over equations.

Look carefully at the momentum equation. See the term v there? Why not solve for v? That would give you the velocity component.
