Answer

$21\space g,\space x(+)\space direction$

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image below. Here we use the principle of conservation of momentum. $ m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2}$ Let's apply this principle in both x, and y direction as follows. $\rightarrow m_{1}u_{1}=m_{2}u+m_{3}u_{3}$ $0=m_{2}\times u+14\space g\times 48\space m/s$ $-672\times10^{-8}kgm/s=m_{2}u-(1)$ $\uparrow 0= m_{2}V+14\space g\times (0)=\gt V=0$ Given that, the speed of second mass =32 m/s So, we can write $=\gt 32\space m/s=\sqrt {u^{2}+V^{2}}=u$ Direction of the second particle = x(+) direction $(1)=\gt \frac{-672\times10^{-3}kgm/s}{32\space m/s}=m_{2}$ $21 g =m_{2}$
