Question

A small boat collides (actually bounces off) a large ship. During the collision The boat experiences the larger average collision force The ship experiences the larger average collision force They both experience the same average collision force The boat experiences a larger change of momentum than the ship The ship experiences a larger change of momentum than the boat A skater (mass m1 = 75 kg) moving with speed V1 = 5 m/s is on a collision course with another skater (mass m2 = 80 kg) moving at V2 = 3 m/s in the opposite direction. When they collide, they hold onto one another and continue to move as one. In what direction and with what speed are they moving after collision?

Explanation / Answer

1.c) same average collition force 2.(75*5-80*3)=(80+75)*V so V=.87
