Question

A puck is traveling along a frictionless horizontal surface at constant speed. The magnitude of the puck’s momentum is 10 kg·m/s. The puck then separates into two equal size pieces, each of which moves off at a 20 degree angle to the puck’s initial path. The magnitude of the momentum of each piece is
