Two kids are roller skating. amy, with a mass of 55 kg, is traveling forward at 3 m/s. jenny, who has a mass of 40 kg, is traveling in the opposite direction at 5 m/s. they crash into each other and hold onto each other so that they move as one mass. how fast are they traveling?

They traveling at along the direction of 55 kg kid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conservation of momentum-

Momentum of a system is constant if there are no external forces acting on the system.

As they crash into each other and hold onto each other so that they move as one mass and no other force is acting on them, so conservation of momentum can be applied here.

The final direction of velocity will be opposite to the assumed direction of the mass of 40 kg.

final answer is : )

18.8cm hope i at all
