The 1.5 kg puck is moving directly east at 2.0 m/s2.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}. The 4.0 kg puck is moving directly north at 1.0 m/s1.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}. 21. What is the magnitude of the total momentum of the two-puck system after the collision? (A) 1.0 kg⋅ m/s1.0 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} (B) 3.5 kg⋅ m/s3.5 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} (C) 5.0 kg⋅ m/s5.0 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} (D) 7.0 kg⋅ m/s7.0 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} (E) 5.55 kg⋅ m/s5.5 \sqrt{5} \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
