Unit vector in the direction of block momentum


A 0.7 kg block of ice is sliding by you on a very slippery floor at 3.5 m/s. As it goes by, you give it a kick perpendicular to its path. Your foot is in contact with the ice block for 0.003 seconds. The block eventually slides at an angle of 22 degrees from its original direction (labeled θin the diagram). The overhead view shown in the diagram is approximately to scale. The arrow represents the average force your toe applies briefly to the block of ice.

Q1. What is the unit vector in the direction of the block's momentum after the kick?
